Today, I was interviewed by Radio Saltire, a volunteer run, community radio station, near Edinburgh. Even though I had left after rush hour, it still took me nearly two hours to get there. The joy of road works and heavier than expected traffic. It was more or less the same on the way back. But to the main purpose of this post.
The interview went well and everyone in the radio station were very welcoming. I spoke about my poetry collection, as well as about the Northlore Series. As well as talking aboutt the first volume of the Northlore Series, I also talked about the second volume, which will hopefully be out this year. I was asked to read out a couple of my poems. We also talked about the differences between self-publishing, as well as traditional publishing, and how self-publishing can be an amazing way of getting your name out there, giving yourself a platform.
I was even asked to come back. I will have to take them up on that offer, when I have had more of my work published. The interview went out live, but they are planning on putting the interview up on their website, as well as sending the recording me a copy of the recording as well. When I get it, I will certainly be posting it here, if anyone is interested in hearing it.
