“Talk, talk, talk,” you say. “That’s all Matt does is talk to the 2008 National Book Festival Authors. But when will we, the readers and fans of those authors, get a chance to ask the questions?!”
Well, you can come in person, of course, to the National Book Festival on Sept. 27, 2008, from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on the National Mall in DC. But if you just can’t wait that long, our longtime charter sponsor, The Washington Post, has begun to schedule online chats with National Book Festival authors.
The first three have been scheduled, and are as follows:
Bob Schieffer (CBS newsman and author), Monday, 9/15 at 2 p.m. EDT
Arthur and Pauline Frommer (noted travel writers), Tuesday, 9/16 at 10 a.m. EDT
And Alexander McCall Smith, (prolific writer of fiction and nonfiction), Friday, 9/19 at 11 a.m. EDT
You can follow the links above and start submitting your questions now, or anytime up to and even during the chats. We expect to be able to announce at least a couple more in the days leading up to Sept. 27.
(By the way, two years ago we did about six author podcasts. In 2007 we doubled that. This year, I expect we’ll get pretty close to, if not more than, 20! To subscribe in iTunes, go here.)
