This Thursday evening, then.

It’s the first in the triumvirate of summer writing workshops, taking place 7-9pm at the CHIC co-working hub in Chester.

The topic for the first session is interview skills, followed by one hour of individual tuition.

Bring a piece of work-in-progress writing with you for the second half – a blog post, a feature, a pitch etc.

But, thinking about the first session, I’d like to kick off a discussion about the nature of interviews. To get our thinking caps on, I’d like us all to read the following story and then post our thoughts:

Rhys Ifans gives ‘the interview from hell’ and exposes a journalistic farce

Why do we conduct interviews? What makes them a success? And what should we do if it all goes wrong?

And when you post, please also include a brief introduction about yourself, so we can get to know each other before the workshop and start a dialogue as a group.

Share your comments below and look forward to seeing everyone Thursday 14, 7pm.

Please call or email with any questions.
