Over the course of blogging, I’ve compiled a decent number of interviews with writer friends, editors, agents, and people of interest. Some of my personal faves are my interview with Robert Darden, senior editor for the Wittenburg Door and Baylor U prof, Debra Dixon’s two-part interview regarding the state of publishing is quite good, as is Hugo and Nebula award winner Nancy Kress’s where we discuss the craft of writing and the genre of Science Fiction. R.J. Anderson’s take on fantasy and folklore is terrific, as is NY Times best-selling author Tosca Lee on her controversial novel Iscariot. Anyway, here’s 25 people I’ve interviewed. Enjoy!
