Starting in 2009, I have been interviewing numerous emerging authors, including Benjamin Blum (BenjaminBlum.com), Braxton Robbason, Keith Meatto (KeithMeatto.com), Jeff Wilser (JeffWilser.com), Freeman Tabony, and others. These writers have fiction and nonfiction books in the creative pipelines. My goal is to conduct several interviews over the next year or two with each author while they are in the process of writing their books. That way I'll be able to publish extensive, phenomenal interviews just as their books hit the shelves. 

Inspired by Canteen Magazine's pieces written by couples (such as "I Married a Novelist" by Eric Puchner and Katharine Noel), in April 2010 I interviewed Evan and Joanna Smith Rakoff. I'm keen to interview more creative couples. Contact me if you're interested.
