| testing123 | Posted – 1/21/2008 7:58:08 PM | show profile | email poster I am at work on a book about a Particular Event which happened on one evening about three decades ago. The Event lasted about three hours. The Event was a granular, but hugely important occurrence in the almost forty year existence of The Topic/Subject. The Topic has been widely written about. It is major. But The Event has not been, although it's seminal. My questioin: What is the protocol about asking other authors who have written about The Topic to be interviewed? Several authors who have written about The Topic are very familiar with The Event, and could add worthy content to my project. Sorry to sound so, "beginner" but....at least I'm in the right forum. Thank your for input and thoughts. EXAMPLE: I am (for example) writing about Joe Namath's prediction of a win in the Super Bowl, but NOT about The Jets season w/Namath in which they won the Super Bowl. That's sort of what my circumstance is like. Many have written about the Jets season, but perhaps no one ever wrote about this game, etc... |
