Maybe that’s why I don’t have a book contract yet.

Thanks Susan!

I’m so sorry for the delayed response on this! No excuse, really. I was definitely nervous before (and during) my interview, but I’d recently interviewed someone about body language during a job interview and her advice was to visualize yourself being successful in the interview. I visualized myself being successful and it calmed me down. I also listened to the segment before mine and that got my mind off things. I think my acting training also helped, because I “cast” myself in the role of the confident TV guest and tried to emulate that persona without appearing fake.

So exciting to think about. It sounds like being yourself as much as you can will carry you through!

I like it!

Were you nervous — and how did you deal with it?

I’ve done radio interviews, and found them incredibly stressful. Well actually, the first 2-3 were stressful because I was discussing my articles and I’m not an expert on the content (I just wrote the article!). But, my fourth was great because I was interviewed about being a writer, and that’s second nature.

So….any quick tips for overcoming nervousness before doing radio or TV interviews?

Thanks,
Laurie
