Ottawa Independent Writers Meeting - Thursday November 28
Topic: Interviewing Techniques

Writer-editor Brian McCullough will discuss why good interviewing skills are essential for writers of all stripes. The information, insight and quotable statements that can be obtained through skillful interviewing can add sparkle to virtually any written enterprise, whether it be journalism, family history, creative non-fiction or a work of fiction. By the same token a clumsy, ill-prepared interview can leave an interviewee feeling let down (or worse). Part of the presentation will include a live demonstration.

At a 15-minute pre-meeting presentation, OIW member Lou Sawaya will provide direct mail marketing tips and techniques.

Cost: $10 for guests.
Location: The Good Companions Seniors’ Centre, 670 Albert St. The GCSC is located on the Transitway, and has a large free parking lot.
Time: 7 p.m. Socializing starts at 6:30 p.m.
