Yet to many, the perfect interview feels more like luck than skill-a rare confluence of rapport, topic, and timing. But the thing is, great interviewsaren'tthe result of serendipity and intuition, but rather the result of careful planning and good journalistic habits.

Drawing on forty-years of award-winning journalism and his experience as the founder and host of the Writer's Symposium by the Sea, Nelson walks you through each step of the journey from deciding whom to interview and structuring questions, to the nitty gritty of how to use a recording device and effective note-taking strategies, to the ethical dilemmas of interviewing people you love (and loathe). He also includes case studies of famous interviews to show how these principles play out in real time. Chock full of comprehensive, time-tested, gold-standard advice,Talk to Meis a book that demystifies the art and science of interviewing. "One of the best interviewers around." -Anne Lamott, New York Times-bestselling author of Help, Thanks, Wow
