Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 7-9 Mabery's "how to" offers a thorough treatment of what to do before, during and after an interview, but it emphasizes "famous people" and downplays "your friends." In the course of his name-dropping, Mabery does stress that all interview subjects should be treated with equal importance. His writing style is clear and journalistic, but anecdote-riddled. His anecdotes do serve to point out practical tips: details add dimension (Bette Midler drank bottled water); establish rapport (he initially joked with Carol Channing). Mabery does offer some straightforward advice as well: take notes with a ballpoint pen (rain won't wash it away), bring extra batteries for the tape recorder, learn from your mistakes. However, his emphasis is on celebrity interviews, and although the local mayor could be considered a celebrity, most kids won't see it that way. For aspiring People magazine writers only.
