Multiple Stories From Your Interviews and Notes
October 13, 2021, 2:00 pm-3:30 pm ET
Pitching, Researching & Interviewing, Running Your BusinessWe all interview a variety of sources to produce magazine, online and newsletter articles, and other content. But how often do you pursue more than one story angle from your collected material? In a virtual education webinar on October 13, ASJA members and experienced writers Linda Marsa and Beth Howard will share their tips for how to mine multiple story ideas from your interviews and notes, and potentially increase your income from groundwork already done. They’ll also talk about the ethical and legal issues around pursuing multiple takes from a story, and how to work within the constraints of contracts where publications assume all rights to the material, which is becoming more often the case.
