Martin will present her workshop, “Interviewing like a
Champ: Questions to ask, and how to turn your notes into a compelling story.”
Champ: Questions to ask, and how to turn your notes into a compelling story.”
Have you ever wanted to write someone else’s story but don’t know where to begin? In this workshop, you will learn the types of questions to
ask and how to turn your notes into a finished product. This is NOT a
lesson in journalism but a workshop to help those interested in learning how ask the right questions and then transcribe their notes into an enjoyable read. We all know someone with an interesting background or experience, whose story needs to be written. Interviewing skills are good for writing feature stories, but can also help when writing your parent’s memoirs, telling a coworker’s family history, or being a ghost writer.
