Author interviews - you ask the questions

Each month, we conduct a few exclusive interviews with authors and then publish the interviews in LibraryThing's monthly State of the Thing newsletter. We're going to try something new—crowdsourcing part of the interview, and using questions from members in addition to our own questions.

How it will work
I've created a group: Author Interviews - you ask the questions

In the forum for that group, there's a topic for each author I have lined up for an interview. Got questions? Ask them in the thread for that author. Then I'll pick my favorites and send them to the author along with my own questions. The author will answer everything, and we'll publish the interview both in the State of the Thing and on the author's page on LibraryThing.

To start with, I need questions for Audrey Niffenegger! Add your questions for Audrey here.

Looking for inspiration? Past interviewees include Elizabeth Strout, Lisa See, David Ebershoff, Ayelet Waldman and more...

And an added twist
While I do have a slew of authors slated for upcoming interviews, there are many more out there we'd love to have. So, you can also add your own thread for an author we haven't signed up for an interview yet. Make the author's name the subject line, followed by "wanted". For example, the subject could be:

Neil Gaiman (wanted)

Then add questions you have for that author. When we have a bunch of questions, I'll write the author/publicist/publisher, begging for an interview.
