About the Retreat

Peter Gzowski, the legendary host of CBC Radio’s Morningside, used to say of his guest, “We’re both in a canoe. I steer, they paddle.” Done well, the interview leads to interesting and unexpected places.

No matter what you write — fiction, non-fiction, drama, poetry — research is critical. Invariably you must interview your subject. Maybe on the telephone, but ideally in person.

In this four-hour seminar exclusive to OIW members, Lawrence Scanlan will offer tips on how to hone your skills as an interviewer. 

Topics that will be covered:

  1. How to prepare, how to conduct and order the interview,

  2. When to push, when to cajole, when to let silence rule.
