Book Talk: The Secret to Great Interviews about Your Book 

A former CBC radio host with expertise in book interviews, Jo-Ann Roberts has done dozens of interviews for her new book, Storm the Ballot Box, and can give advice from both sides of the microphone. Jo-Ann will share insider information about how to get interviews on radio, tv, and podcasts, how to prepare for those interviews once you’ve booked them, then how to maximize your exposure on the other side. A bonus: you’ll get a Top 10 interview chat-sheet to take home with you. This workshop promises to be fun and functional.  

It will include:

• How to get interviews on radio, tv and podcasts
