Kelly's Writerly Q&A
December 2025 Q&A with Clare Griffin on Author Interviews
Welcome to Kelly's Writerly Q&A, a monthly blog series that is now a podcast!
Listen to my 19th episode where I chat to Clare Griffin, historical fiction author and the fabulous host of her Instagram Live Sunday Sessions. These author interviews are full of bookish insight and warm conversation!
We discuss:
- What Clare is currently writing
- Rejection
- How Clare started interviewing authors
- What technical difficulties we encounter recording interviews
- How we find guests
- What we have learned by interviewing authors
- Our advice for aspiring author interviewers
- Whether we memorise our intros or not
- Whether we send our questions in advance or not
- Whether Clare is considering turning her Sunday Sessions into a podcast
- And we finish with 8 book recs for you to add to your Christmas list!
Thank you for listening!
