Ok, so yesterday I was asked to interview Stephenie Meyer (author of the Twilight series)  for an article I get to write for Eliza magazine!

I'm kind of excited for several reasons, first off I was totally flattered that I was asked to do it. Secondly, I know it's just an article, but it will be the first time I'm published, and third, I happen to LOVE the Twilight series and am excited that I get to chat up the author and write a story/review of her and the series.


I'm really kind of nervous though. Does that make me a dork? My writing experience is all in telling stories. I've never really interviewed someone before and writing an article is a lot different. I have been thinking of several different takes I could do on the piece, but I'm not sure exactly what to ask.

Any ideas? lol. Any suggestions? Anyone read the book? Any specific questions you would want answered? Or, better yet, if you had to opportunity to chat with a best-selling author, what would you ask?

AJsKellyMouse:
Congrats!!  That's so exciting!  I wouldn't even know where to begin with something like that so I will be of no help to you.  I just wanted to say congrats!

nicksgal:
Ooh, that is exciting! Since you like the books so much. :) Congratulation s.

Hmmmmm.... I guess I would ask why she decided to write in that genre... What inspired her characters... If her characters ever changed the books from her original intentions... Things like that. :)

Wow, that is really cool, Kelly - congrats!!!

As far as suggestions, I have no idea what to tell you... I haven't read the book, and I don't have much experience interviewing or writing articles.  I like the idea of asking other people what they would want you to ask.  How much time do you have to prepare for the interview?  If you could find more readers of the book and get their input, that would be cool!

honey:
well you guys are no help!

lol. I have some time so I think it'll be ok. I read a couple of other interviews that were posted on line just to see what others have done. Found a really interesting one with JK Rowling...   But yeah, I actually know quite a few people that have read the books and I'm sure I'll ask them all.
