What are the step by step course for writing an interview

Come up with a list of good questions.

Before you can begin writing your research interview, you’ll need to conduct the actual
interview. You should do plenty of research and compile a list of questions for your interview
subject. Read other good interviews, profiles, or write-ups on the person you’re interviewing to
get a sense of the types of questions they’re normally asked. Then, do your best to brainstorm
specific questions that you feel the subject has never answered before. Ideally, a question
should provoke a unique, thoughtful response. When writing interview questions, also try to
think of open-ended questions that will make your interviewee speak at length on a subject.

Interview your subject.

When you finally sit down with your interview subject, make sure the interviewee is
comfortable and both parties are aware of any time constraints there might be. It’s essential to
have a recording device during the interview process. If you are a person who prefers to take
notes while interviewing, make sure that your note-taking isn’t distracting or off-putting to your
subject. You don’t want to spend the entire interview with your eyes buried in your notes.

Transcribe your interview.

After you’ve completed your interview, transcribe the recording of the entire exchange. There
are transcribing services that can do this for you, but transcribing your own interview can be
valuable for your writing process. Typing out the exact text of your questions and answers can
give you an initial sense of which parts of the interview are the most compelling. This process
can also illuminate which sections are dull or lacking, which can help you determine if you’ll
need to ask any clarifying follow-up questions.

Rephrase and polish.

Once you’ve determined the basic structure of your interview paper, it’s time to clean it up. The
raw text of your interview is likely littered with half-thoughts, tangents, and stall words like
“um” or “well.” In order to make your interview cogent and readable, you’ll likely need edit to
remove stall words. You may also rephrase many of the direct quotes. Paraphrasing or
rephrasing exact quotes in order to make them more coherent is fine, as long as you are not
changing the message behind the quotes; if you do paraphrase, do not include quotation marks
around the paraphrased material.

Review and proofread.

Proofreading is one of the final steps of writing an interview. Compare your paraphrased
answers to the transcript to make sure you have not altered your subject’s meaning. Check to
make sure the names of people or places referenced by your subject are spelled correctly. This
is also the time to review your research on a macro level. Are there any sections of the
interview that feel redundant or superfluous? If so, cut those sections and move on to your
next question. If you have any spare time, try to select images or particularly absorbing pull
quotes that can accompany your research.

Sequence of Questions

Get the respondents involved in the interview as soon as possible.

Before asking about controversial matters (such as feelings and conclusions), first ask about some facts.
With this approach, respondents can more easily engage in the interview before warming up to more
personal matters.
Intersperse fact-based questions throughout the interview to avoid long lists of fact-based questions,
which tends to leave respondents disengaged.

Ask questions about the present before questions about the past or future. It's usually easier for them to
talk about the present and then work into the past or future.

The last questions might be to allow respondents to provide any other information they prefer to add
and their impressions of the interview.

Wording of Questions

Wording should be open-ended. Respondents should be able to choose their own terms when
answering questions.

Questions should be as neutral as possible. Avoid wording that might influence answers, e.g., evocative,
judgmental wording.

Questions should be asked one at a time.

Questions should be worded clearly. This includes knowing any terms particular to the program or the
respondents' culture.

Be careful asking "why" questions. This type of question infers a cause-effect relationship that may not
truly exist. These questions may also cause respondents to feel defensive, e.g., that they have to justify
their response, which may inhibit their responses to this and future questions.
