THE CONVERSATIONS

All I require is that when you get the link to your show, (you’ll get it and the date the show will air after the prerecorded conversation), is that you share the information with your audience, on your website and/or social media.     

  • To be scheduled and prerecorded
  • Donations GREATLY appreciated and accepted
  • It’s a conversation. You talk about your work and see where it leads us. Sometimes it’s more than just books!
  • I do NOT have a list of questions that I ask. I ask a question, you answer, and we discuss. 
  • All I require is that when you get the link to your show, (you’ll get it and the date the show will air after the recorded conversation), is that you share the information with your audience, on your website and/or social media. And please, if you ha a Spotify account, ease follow the podcast      
  • I use Google Meet and it gives you the option to connect via your computer (for video or audio) or a phone number you can call, for audio only. 
  • Check your microphone and camera on your computer to make sure they works.
  • If using a cellphone, make sure you have plenty of charge on it.  
  • Also, I set the meetings to my time zone, Eastern. (I live in Upstate NY). So, when we agree on a time, make sure I know if you are in a different time zone, and if you mean a time that is on your time zone, not mine. 
  • If your availability doesn’t jive with the booking schedule, email me and we will work out a schedule that works for you.
  • I reserve the right to NOT air any episode if the content goes against my policy of clean content**



**The Clean Content Requirement

 This podcast is clean content only. This podcast supports First Amendment Rights and has a segment for uncensored voices, but even the First Amendment has exclusions to the rule. 


Clean Content means:

  1. No VULGAR language or SWEARING while recording. My podcast is clean content, and I want to keep it that way. The only exception would be if an author was reading an excerpt that had choice words within the content.
  2. NO content should promote HATE, VIOLENCE, BIGOTRY, OR ANY PROMOTION OF BODILY HARM OR HATE AGAINST A PERSON, OR A GROUP, OR RACE, OR GENDER. 
  3. However, if, due to a true crime writer talking about a case, and it is a little graphic, that episode will have a disclaimer.


I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO NOT AIR ANY APPEARANCE THAT VIOLATES MY RULES. 


Rescheduling or Cancelations.

  

  • If you need to reschedule, please let me know. When the recording schedule has started, I wait for 15 minutes for the guest, and if the guest does not contact me to reschedule, I will close the meeting and mark it as a no-show. 
  • Guest are allowed ONE no show and allowed to reschedule it.  



Additional Options:

  • Purchase the original uploaded recording for $25 (actual audio file)
  • Purchase the original uploaded video file for $35 (actual recorded video file). 



PODCAST SPONSORSHIP

Support a Podcast That Supports Authors


My podcast is built on a simple belief: stories matter. Every week, I sit down with authors — emerging, established, censored, indie, and traditionally published — to talk about craft, creativity, and the power of storytelling.


If you believe in books, literacy, and giving authors a platform, I invite you to become a sponsor.



Your support helps me:

  • Keep the show running
  • Feature more authors
  • Advocate for literacy and anti‑censorship
  • Grow the community around storytelling
  • Your support — at any level — makes a real difference.


Ways to Support

IMPOSTER REPRESENTING AMY'S BOOKSHELF REVIEWS

There is someone posing as Amy's Bookshelf Reviews, and Literary Consultant.  Watch the video at the top of the home page.   My emails will have a watermark either in the body and/or in the signature of my emails that I send. My logos and graphics also have a mark I created.

When receiving emails you think are from me, check the actual email address carefully.  I received one today on my other email address I use for my consulting business, trying to recruit my book, posting as Amy's Bookshelf Reviews & Podcast.
