Interview Tips

You are there for publicity. So use the opportunity to shine and market yourself and your work.

“You can find me or my works by searching Arthur Zulu on google.”

Mention the work you want to highlight several times.

“I really like my work Queen Esther. Others are good, but you will always find me reading Queen Esther.”

Answer a foolish question with a foolish answer.

“Yes, you are right. I am not writing to be read. But my monkey said it was a great story.”

Answer an offensive question by putting the interviewer on the spot.

“That’s the best question you’ve ever asked. And the best questions do not require an answer.”

If the interviewer wants to test your intelligence and you are not prepared for it, give an off-point reply.

“Magical realism? I haven’t become a magician yet!”

If the atmosphere is tense, tell an anecdote.

“When cows fell from the blue skies and sank a fishing boat the other day in the Siberian Sea of Okhotsk, nobody believed. So I don’t expect anyone to believe my story.”

If you don’t want to give an answer, parry the question.

“I don’t like discussing my private life.”

If you don’t want to be specific, use doublespeak.

“You are both right and wrong.”

If you are interrupted before you finish making your point, resume your answer later.

“As I was saying before I was interrupted. . . .”

Don’t let the interviewer put words into your mouth.

“You are telling me so.”

Don’t sound like a Mr.-or Madam-Knowall.

“This mighty pen of mine can turn any piece of paper to precious diamond.”

Let readers know the research you did before writing your story.

“I read books on classical civilization and visited archaeological sites in far away lands.”

Weave things you are not asked, but which you like your readers to know, into the interview.”

“Lest, I forget. I actually saw Noah’s ark in Mt. Ararat, climbed and touched it with my hands before writing A Letter to Noah.”

Say your book is the greatest.

“You haven’t read a thriller until you read God Save the White House!”

Don’t let them compare you to another writer.

“I am Arthur Zulu, not Anthony Zakari.”

Don’t say everything, keep some.

“That’s a story for another day.”

If you are thinking of an answer to a difficult question, buy time by pretending to adjust yourself or by enjoying a good laugh.

“Now that’s funny. . .”
