This week’s question is submitted by Elizabeth at Silver’s Reviews!
March 18th - 24th - Has your contact with authors usually been in person, via e-mail, social media, or something else?
I have had contact with authors in all ways except a phone call. Usually it is through Facebook, Twitter or Goodreads but it is getting to be a lot more through my email as I do more reviews I get more contacts from my reviews. Also, I have received books and such from authors as well.
My favorite interaction is through Facebook because we can use the messaging system and you create a closeness not achieved by emails. I also like the instant gratification of quicker replies.
Also as far as Publishers go it is through email as most often they contact me for the author. But I have been known to contact Authors who approach me first for Author Interviews for this blog.

As you can tell I love Social Media! So what about you?

If I get a phone call I will most likely have swoon. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteA phone call would definitely be interesting! Most of my communication is through email and really it's more often publishers than authors but it's still exciting! I can see where the Facebook interaction would feel closer.
ReplyDeleteIt does feel close and I do love getting answers quicker for things I am working on regarding them.
DeleteSocial media seems to be a pretty common way to meet authors, as they contact bloggers in order to get their books reviewed.
ReplyDeleteI've met many authors through book tours I have hosted. As you know from my own post, I've also met a few in person at local book events.
Happy Reading!! Thanks for commenting on my BBH post!! :)
Thanks for stopping by Maria.
DeleteI haven't met any authors on Facebook...something to look into.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend.
Happy Hopping!!

Thanks for stopping by Elizabeth.
DeleteI can't imagine talking to an author on the phone. I suppose you never know though. I know of someone who called an author up at home to talk about her book--the author was actually listed, can you believe it?! I can't see myself ever doing anything that bold.
ReplyDeleteI would never do anything like that. If they ask for my phone number and want to talk to me then of course I would. Thanks for visiting Literary Feline.
