How to request a webchat with an author

20 replies

Hello @MNTowers

How do I go about requesting if you would consider inviting an author on to do a Q and A webchat thing?

There are a few of us discussing a particular book and there is interest in having the author do a webchat.

What do I need to do?

Look at end of the book for contact details? On her author website? Amazon author page/ Twitter or Instagram. Most authors have a social media presence somewhere.

HollowTalk · 27/06/2021 12:45

Who's the author, OP? She may well be on Twitter.

TriciaMcMillan · 27/06/2021 12:47

I believe the OP is asking how to get MN to arrange it.

oneglassandpuzzled · 27/06/2021 12:50

Oh sorry!

CatherineCawood · 27/06/2021 12:56

Thanks all. Author is a he. I don't think he would be on MN, but you never know! It is Dr Andrew Jenkinson author of Why We Eat (Too Much). He is a bariatric surgeon who wrote a book about modern diet. It's v interesting and we have some questions for him.

Literally just do what you’ve done OP. Start this thread on Site Stuff, explain why you think he’d be of interest, and get other likeminded posters to come onto it and back you up.

HollowTalk · 27/06/2021 13:06

He's on Twitter if anyone wants to follow him.

Hi @CatherineCawood. We're just working out our zoomchat and webchat strategy - thanks for your suggestion, we'll bear it in mind.
