How can an interview bump up your nonfiction writing? What are the dos and don’ts of a good interview?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When writing nonfiction, incorporating quotes and perspectives from other people can bump up the piece by adding engagement, emotional appeal<\/a>, and humanity. However, there are some things you need to keep in mind when writing an interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how to conduct a good interview, with tips from American writer William Zinsser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Writing About Interviews<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In his book On Writing Well, <\/em>William Zinsser encourages writers to include interviews incorporating direct quotes and information from another person into their pieces. By including someone else\u2019s perspective in their own words\u2014not yours\u2014your writing will have more humanity and be more engaging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Other experts also encourage the use of interviews, noting that they can engage your reader through pathos<\/em><\/a>\u2014an emotional appeal to your audience<\/a>. By discussing a topic with someone who knows about or is directly affected by it<\/a>, you\u2019ll connect with your reader. For example, a news story about a flood will be more engaging if the journalist includes an interview with a family whose home was destroyed by the flood than if the journalist just gave the statistics about the flood damage.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are Zinsser’s tips on how to conduct a good interview:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Identify who you want to interview. Find someone who knows about the topic you\u2019re covering or would be an interesting profile. Be sincere<\/a> about your interest in this person and what they have to say. Don\u2019t worry about inconveniencing them with an interview\u2014most people jump at the chance to talk about themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Start talking to them, and wait for them to get comfortable. This may mean talking to them multiple times as you gain their trust. You also shouldn\u2019t start taking physical notes yet\u2014that\u2019s a quick way to ensure someone doesn\u2019t<\/em> relax. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) As you interview them, find what\u2019s interesting. Don\u2019t be afraid if you don\u2019t know anything about that person\u2019s field. If you don\u2019t know anything about the topic, the average reader probably doesn\u2019t either. Use your lack of knowledge to help guide the interviewee to tell you what you (and ultimately the reader) need to know, and don\u2019t be afraid to ask dumb questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Be prepared to tell your interviewee to stop so you have time to write things down. Zinsser recommends physically writing things down rather than recording your interview because writing is the whole point. If you record the interview, you become an audio editor. You also risk technological malfunctions with your recorder. In some instances, a recorder can be helpful (such as for capturing diction), but in general, write physical notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) Don\u2019t be afraid to call your interviewee after your conversation if you need clarification on any quotes or ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6) When incorporating the interview into your piece, be sure to uphold the integrity of your interviewee, but also don\u2019t be afraid to rearrange and edit quotes if you can preserve the speaker\u2019s meaning. Doing so is part of your role as a writer and interviewer: to make your interviewee sound good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips for Interviewing<\/strong>

As Zinsser notes, interviews can be intimidating for many writers. But don\u2019t let this stop you from doing an interview. Your first few interviews may not go smoothly, but you\u2019ll develop your skills the more you do them. Experts also offer tips for conducting a good interview<\/a>:

Before the interview:

1) Choose the interview format<\/strong>. Experts recommend phone calls, video calls, or in-person meetings, but avoid email because you\u2019ll miss important things like tone and facial expressions. Decide which format is right for your story. For example, if you\u2019re doing a profile of the person you\u2019re interviewing, it\u2019s better to meet in person or on a video call. This will give you more detail to work with\u2014what were they wearing? How did they say that line? What kind of mannerisms did they have?

2) Come prepared<\/strong>. While Zinsser advises against using recorders, some journalists use them. But always have a backup\u2014either use two recorders or one recorder and handwritten notes. That way, if your recorder malfunctions, you won\u2019t lose your interview.

3) If possible, don\u2019t give the interviewee questions in advance<\/strong>. If your interviewee over-prepares, you won\u2019t get as many honest, casual answers during the interview. The spontaneity will force you to listen critically in the interview so you can ask a relevant follow-up question to their answers.

4) Introduce yourself<\/strong>. Let your interviewee know who you are<\/a>, what you\u2019re writing, and what publication you\u2019re writing for (if any). This lets them know upfront who you are and where they stand with you.

During the interview:

1) Be yourself<\/strong>. An interview is just a conversation to learn more about a person or subject. So don\u2019t turn into a stuffier or more robotic version of yourself, otherwise people won\u2019t feel comfortable enough to talk to you. 

2) Let your interviewee talk<\/strong>\u2014be an active listener and avoid interrupting him. 

3) Give yourself enough time to talk to each other<\/strong><\/a>\u2014generally this means at least 30 minutes. 

4) Stay focused<\/strong>. If you and your interviewee explore a tangent, be sure to get back on track to your main point<\/a>. 

5) Be courteous and respectful to your interviewee<\/strong>. This means letting them know you\u2019re recording (if you are) and saying thank you afterward. If possible, send your interviewee the published article. <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
