Author Interviews

John gets to meet many wonderful and interesting writers in his role as Director of Books at Booktopia.

​For years now his Ten Terrifying Questions have been handed out to hundreds of writers. Everyone from Lee Child, Jackie Collins and Wilbur Smith, to Peter Carey, Geraldine Brooks and Anna Funder, have taken the time to answer them.

When John is really lucky, he also gets to interview writers for Booktopia TV. A face to face, ten minute or so interview in front of the camera.

More recently John has been recording audio interviews for the Booktopia Podcast.
​
These kinds of experiences are hard to beat.
