Ahoy-hoy! Here I’ll post interviews with writers. Why? ‘Cause I interviewed writers long ago and I really miss it. Let me explain. Grab a cuppa!
In fall of 2017, I transferred to Truman State University. Since I was a creative writing major, I decided to work for the school paper to gain some practical writing experience. I got the job as a Features writer because I wanted to write human-interest stories. I had the privilege to interview a flutist, a podcaster, and a world expert in prairie dogs, but since so many writers came to Truman, I wished to interview them as well. Writers came to conduct workshops, read their work, lecture, and I figured if I could wave a press badge in front of them, I could get them to talk to me. I arranged to interview incoming writers and publish their stories in the school paper (yes, it was a real, physical newspaper that you could pick up on campus every Thursday). Some of my interviews with writers included a bee keeper, a bartender, and a professor. During my two-year stint as an undergrad at Truman, I interviewed a bunch of people and published 40 articles, and that included 15 interviews with writers. I graduated from Truman in 2019 and my hobby of interviewing writers ended. I never attempted to do it again. I couldn’t imagine chasing down writers I didn’t know, and trying to get them to talk to me. Then while setting up my author page, I thought, what if I just interviewed my friends? I don’t need a venue, the venue is right here. Here is my chance to get to know my friends better and promote their work! Heck yeah. So keep your eyes on this space, peeps! I’ve got interviews with writers coming soon. Comments are closed.
