Interviewing is fun – I did quite a lot of it for a little while, and then got busy doing other stuff. I learned a little bit this time, too. I sat down at Norwescon with Ken Schole’s wife, Jen, and picked her brain a little. She’s done professional interviews before, and I got some good advice from her which included doing background research to make sure you aren’t asking somebody the same question that a ton of other folks have already asked. Makes your interview more interesting to both the readers and the person you’re highlighting.
Anyway, thanks, Jen. And thank to Kim Stanley Robinson, who did a great job of giving me long and interesting answers.
