Hi, everyone! Today I'm happy to present an interview with Meredith Schorr, the author of As Seen on TV, which is out now!
Would you please tell us a little about your book, As Seen On TV?
As Seen on TV is a lighthearted romantic comedy about a New Yorker who is fed up with city life and obsessed with Hallmark movies and Gilmore Girls. When she has a chance to go to a small-town on a work assignment, she hopes to meet friendly and quirky locals and perhaps have a small-town romance of her own with the hot vet or handsome single mayor only to discover Pleasant Hollow is nothing like what she sees on tv: there’s no charming bakery or cute seasonal festivals, the people aren’t all that “pleasant” and while she does find love, it is not at all what she thought she wanted or nearly as straight-forward as in the TV movies.
Did you always want to be a writer?
Actually not. I didn’t discover my love of writing until I was about 30! In fact, my sister used to write a lot of assignments for me growing up J
Random Question! What’s your favorite word?
I don't have a favorite word but my favorite adjective to hear in connection with my own book is DELIGHTFUL. My hope is to delight readers with my stories!
If you’re able to talk about it, what are you currently working on?
I have another book coming out next summer called Someone Just Like You. It’s an enemies-since-childhood to lovers, opposites attract, forced proximity romcom set in Manhattan. Molly and Jude lived across the street from each other growing up and were both the youngest of three children with parents who were best friends. Complete opposites, they never got along and spent most of their formative years competing with each other and pulling not very goodnaturedly pranks. Now at 27, they are forced together to help plan a surprise co-anniversary party for their parents. Hijinks ensue, followed by a grudging friendship ripe with sexual tension. When they discover they’ve both been dating a version of each other’s doppelganger for a decade, it raises the question: why are they seeking in romantic partners what they claim to hate about each other? They eventually get together, only for their differences and past secrets to threaten their happy ever after.
What are some of your favorite Romance books? And what are some you’re looking forward to reading?
This is so hard because I read so much and love romance! But some of my favorites include The Hating Game, People We Meet on Vacation, Part of Your World, The Charm Offensive, One Last Stop, Matchmaking for Beginners, The Wedding Ringer, The Boyfriend Project, Mr. Wrong Number, The Dead Romantics. I'm looking forward to reading Love in the Time of Serial Killers, The Hook-up Plan, Mr. Perfect on Paper, Love Interest (not out until 2023).
Thank you to Meredith Schorr for participating in this event! :)
