Randall Radic Alvah's Books' new smoking senior editor
A few days ago, I was contacted by Murray Newlands, the founder of Affiliate Heat and ebook author, to do an interview. Lo and behold, it appeared today on his site, MurrayNewlands.com. Below is a portion of the interview:
An interview with Rebeca Schiller of Alvah’s Books blog
Tell me about your Blog?
Alvah’s Books is a book review site. It’s named after my favorite author Alvah Bessie. Alvah was a veteran of the Abraham Lincoln Brigades who fought in the Spanish Civil War, he was a novelist, the literary and drama critic of The New Masses, screenwriter, and one of the Hollywood Ten. For Alvah’s Books, I review literary fiction and non-fiction. I also include essays, author interviews and publishing news.
What was your first blog?
My first blog was A Novel Approach. It was supposed to be a blog chronicling the trials and tribulations of writing my novel. It was discontinued because it turned more into a lament about my job. It morphed into Exiled at the Beach: A Year’s Chronicle in Creativity.
What is the biggest tip you would give to a newbie blogger?
Have a plan. Think of your blog as a magazine. Think of what you want to publish daily and make it interesting.
To read the rest of the interview, go to Murray Newland’s site. Thanks Murray for the great opportunity!
If you’ve completed a Google search or in any other directory and you’ve found yourself here at Alvah’s Books, don’t fret. Exiled at the Beach Book Reviews is now Alvah’s Books. Here, you’ll find the information you’ve been looking for (at least I hope so) and more! I have a slew of upcoming reviews, an author interview, and my occasional wry comment or two.
