My agent👇on the need for authors to conserve energy, and the longterm value of building a brand vs promoting a single project. I struggle saying "no" to requests. But podcasts, interviews, etc are all time consuming & can't always be justified. Please don't take it personally!
Case-in-point: I've received three podcast requests and one interview request today. If I committed to every single request that came through, it would quickly become a full-time (unpaid) job. And ultimately, I would never write a second book.
That said: I love that people are interested in my work and will always strive to do what I can, as public engagement is very important to me. Just know it's a tough job being a freelancer, and us writers can't commit to all things all the time.
