The ALVA Axiom Anthology of Author Interviews features interviews by Roberta M Roy with a variety of noteworthy writers and editors discussing their creative roles in publishing and the media. It highlights the differences among the writers? approaches and personalities. For the writer, the variety in these authors? approaches may serve to entertain as well as to inform. For the teacher, students will enjoy reading aloud the interviews as dialogues in which to explore not only contrasting ideas, but also writers? unique characters in role-play. As such it provides a very personal look into the world of writing'for hard copy publication, the internet, and film. The ALVA Axiom Anthology of Author Interviews is divided along the lines of author-chosen genres, content, and probable audiences. The result is sections titled ?Fiction,? ?Non-Fiction,? ?Poetry,? ?Fantasy/Paranormal,? ?Illustrated Children's Books,? and ?In the Media.' Except where logic suggested the need to pair authors, authors are listed in alphabetical sequence. Thus in the fiction section, the well-known writer of Native American history, Carl Waldman, is listed after four emerging writers and the medalists, myself (Bronze in Inspirational Fiction 2011 Jenkins Living Now Awards) and Kristen Henderson (Gold in Poetry in the 2011 Jenkins International eLit Awards) are placed not first, but in the order in which their last names fall in that section.
