A 1-Day Interview Workshop
Thursday: November 6, 5-8 PM
Join journalist and writer Emily Burnham for a one-day workshop that will equip you with lots of new skills to make the most out of your interviews. Whether it's 20 minutes or two days, an interview can be the backbone for nonfiction writing, providing crucial details and information alongside new perspectives and directions for whatever it is you're writing. In this workshop, we'll explore all the factors that go into getting the most out of your time with a source -- from asking the right questions, to picking the right setting, to putting your subject at ease, to getting people to open up to you in a way that feels natural, safe and illuminating.
$90 Members/$135 Nonmembers
