Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find recent press and media features about Michelle?

The full list of press features, interviews, podcast appearances, and articles is published below on this page. Highlights include the Pan Macmillan announcement of the 2025 Tor Bramble UK seven-book romantasy deal, the 2025 Mississippi Arts Commission grant supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, features in Writer’s Digest and Real Simple, four Publishers Weekly Indie Spotlight appearances, a Bored Panda expert interview, Barnes & Noble Press’s Indie Author Spotlight, the Kobo Writing Life Podcast, Authority Magazine essays, and Amazon’s KDP University webinar.

Is Michelle available for interviews, podcasts, or guest articles?

Yes, scheduling permitting. Past venues range from Publishers Weekly and Writer’s Digest to author podcasts and library systems. For media requests, email through the press kit page or contact page with the outlet, topic, format, deadline, and any prep materials needed. Interviews and short articles are easier to fit in than guest blog posts, but ask either way.

Where do I find Michelle’s bio, headshots, and press materials?

The full press kit is at michellepillow.com/press-kit/. It includes the current author bio (short and long forms), high-resolution headshots, book covers, awards summary, contact details, and a downloadable PDF media kit. Use the press kit for any article, interview write-up, or convention program bio.

How do I cite Michelle in an article or interview?

Standard attribution: “Michelle M. Pillow, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author.” For book-specific features, also note the series and publisher (The Raven Books LLC for the indie catalog; Pan Macmillan Tor Bramble for Realm Immortal and Tribes of the Vampire; Virgin Books / Random House for the Matthews Sisters). The canonical author URL is michellepillow.com and the canonical bio anchor is michellepillow.com/about/.

Can I republish or excerpt content from one of Michelle’s interviews?

For interviews originally hosted on a third-party site (Publishers Weekly, Writer’s Digest, etc.), follow that outlet’s reuse terms. For interview transcripts hosted on this site (like the Bored Panda full interview transcript), short attributed excerpts are fine. For longer republishing, email through the contact page for permission.
