Beef up stories with interviews

Chapter 1 encourages the travel writer to talk to at least one local to add dimension and a unique perspective to his story. One way to do this is by conducting interviews. Trisha Miller of Travel-writers-exchange.com provides tips for conducting a great interview. Among her advice Miller lists:

• Always prepare in advance.
• Interview people in their own environment – So if it’s a chef, ask if he can be interviewed in the kitchen.
• Make an audio recording & take notes – have a back up recording
• The better the subject appears is the better the writer will appear.

Miller ensures the writer that following her advice will offer the writer interesting and entertaining content that readers yearn for.
