I recently began writing for a local paper, and have my first big interview on the horizon. I have little to none interviewing experience, so I’m wondering if you MeFites could offer up any dos/donts, tips, tricks, etc. My interviewee is a veteran at this sort of thing, so I’m nervous about making a novice blunder. I’ve already done mounds of research, so I’m (hopefully) covered there. Any other tips? (To be specific, the article is about a band and I’m interviewing the frontman.)
How do I interview a novelist?
