“This guide to interviewing is tremendous fun, with some genuine insight into the whole process. Fascinating stuff and properly amusing, too. Brilliant!”
Tom Spilsbury (Editor of DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE) “With a great sense of humour and a sharp ear for the telling quote, Jason Arnopp is an interviewer who always gets the goods. Read and learn” Andrew Harrison Editor of Q and former Editorial Director of Mixmag and Smash Hits “Boy, I wish this book had been around when I started out. You can buy it direct from the author and I'd advise new journalists to do so” Catherine Bray, Film4.com editor |
“If you ever interview people for print or web, it should be an essential part of your reading list”
Scott Matthewman (former Online Editor and Digital Project Manager, The Stage - his five-star review of the book can be read here). “Jason Arnopp is one of those ludicrous, funny people who manages to get the most reticent of stars to tell him things that they really shouldn't. As a journalist, he is blessed with a remarkable bedside manner. He might be able to teach you a thing or two” Phil Alexander (Mojo Editor-In-Chief and former Kerrang! Editor). |
“It was my very happy experience to work with and read Jason Arnopp for a number of years on Kerrang! Jason's interviews were always funny, smart, passionate… blah, blah, blah. But one singular thing marked him apart in his field – he had the invaluable ability to ask the unexpected question that caught both subject and reader off guard, and unfailingly meant you found out something new about whomever he was interviewing. That allowed me to forgive him for such mishaps as being foolishly pictured looking like a Satanic teddy bear in a kimono and being, quite accurately, christened 'Lady’s Hair' by metal icon Max Cavalera”
Paul Rees (Q Editor and former Kerrang! Editor). |
“I'm very glad I bought it; having just re-entered the world of writing (I lost my way in my teenage years!). It has given me confidence and techniques to go about better journalistic interviewing and writing, and I hope to employ what I've learnt when writing for my university newspaper and website! Thank you - very great value for money!”
Imogen Watson, reader “I've just done my first music interview, and I don't think it would have gone even marginally as well if I hadn't read this ebook first. I'm starting out in the big bad world of journalism with zero formal journalistic qualifications under my belt, so help like this is utterly invaluable. Every budding journo should buy this book” John Nugent, reader |
