What did you think of this episode?

As a writer and speaker, your value to an interviewer goes beyond one book, article, or talk.

Welcome to Your Best Writing Life, an extension of the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference held in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. I’m your host, Linda Goldfarb. Each week, I bring tips and strategies from writing and publishing industry experts to help you excel in your craft. I’m so glad you’re listening in. During this episode, you’ll learn about … 3 Steps to Expand the Reach of Your Core Message.

Today’s industry expert is… me! And my wonderful friend and sister podcaster, Kim Stewart, is with me to help facilitate this episode. Kim is a podcast strategist for authors and host of the Book Marketing Mania podcast. She helps nonfiction authors reach more readers as a podcast host and guest. When she’s not strategizing with clients, you’ll find her in Dallas enjoying time with her family, and indulging in coffee, caramel, and Friends reruns. 

As part of Linda’s and Kim's Start Marketing When You Start Writing Series, for four episodes, we are covering podcast interview guesting best practices – taken from Linda’s award-winning book, Creating Dynamic Podcasts & Audiobooks – available directly from Linda; her contact info is in the show notes, and on Amazon.

The best guesting practices we will cover are:

  • How to Expand the Reach of Your Core Message - Part One
  • How To Create Your Top Three Interview Topics - Part Two
  • How to Create Promise-based Interview Questions - Part Three
  • How to Create Professional Interview Queries - Part Four

Also, something fun… we are broadcasting the four episodes on alternating podcasts – part  1 & 3 are on Your Best Writing Life, and parts 2 and 4 are on Book Marketing Mania. The link to Kim's podcast is in the show notes as well.

Let me tell you a little bit about today’s guest. Linda Goldfarb is a speaker, award-winning author & podcaster, audiobook narrator, and board-certified Christian life coach.

She hosts the Your Best Writing Life and Staying Real About Faith & Family podcasts. She is a clarity and mindset coach for The Biblical Nutritionist Academy, a board member of AWSA, emcee of the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference, and co-founder of the LINKED® Personality Assessment.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
