Let’s Trade Interviews: A Simple Way to Grow Our Audiences Together

One of the most rewarding parts of being an independent author is connecting with other writers who are on the same journey—creating stories, building audiences, and finding new readers.

I’ve always believed that we’re stronger when we support each other.

That’s why I’m opening the door to interview exchanges with fellow authors and book bloggers.

Why Interview Swaps Work

Interview exchanges are one of the simplest—and most effective—ways to expand your reach.

When you appear on another author’s blog:

• You’re introduced to an entirely new audience

• You gain credibility through association

• You create long-term networking connections

At the same time, hosting another author brings fresh voices and perspectives to your own readers.

It’s a true win-win.

My Platform

On donmassenzio.com, I’ve built an engaged audience of over 3,000 followers, along with consistent blog traffic from readers interested in:

• mystery and thriller fiction

• independent publishing

• writing craft

• author journeys and behind-the-scenes insights

When I feature another author, I make sure the post is:

• professionally formatted

• visually engaging

• and easy for readers to share

An Easy, Flexible Interview Format

I know how busy writers are, so I’ve created a simple, streamlined interview format that makes participation easy.

You’ll receive:

• A set of thoughtful, reader-friendly questions

• Flexibility to answer in your own voice and style

• The opportunity to include links to your books, website, and social media

Turnaround time is flexible, and I handle all formatting and publishing on my end.

What I’m Looking For

I’m open to interview exchanges with authors who write:

• Mystery
• Thriller
• Suspense
• Crime fiction
• Sci-Fi
• Short story collections
• Literary or character-driven fiction
• Or related genres that would resonate with my audience

Whether you’re an experienced author or just starting out, if you’re passionate about storytelling, I’d love to connect.

How an Interview Exchange Works

It’s simple:

1. I interview you and feature you on donmassenzio.com

2. You interview me and feature me on your blog, website, or newsletter

3. We both promote the interviews across our platforms

Together, we reach twice the audience with minimal extra work.

Interested? Let’s Connect

If you’d like to set up an interview exchange, just reach out through the contact page on this site or email me directly.

Let me know:

• your genre

• your blog or platform

• and a little about your latest book or project

I’ll respond quickly so we can get something scheduled.

Final Thought

Independent publishing can sometimes feel like a solitary road—but it doesn’t have to be.

By collaborating, sharing audiences, and supporting each other, we can all grow stronger as writers and as storytellers.

I look forward to connecting with you.
