Writing: Conducting an Interview

Last updated on: April 3, 2012 at 12:50 pm By DeWayne Hamby

Through the years, as a reporter and writer, I have probably conducted a thousand or more interviews. It’s one of the key elements of being a writer, whether for a local paper, a magazine or research. I’m by no means an expert, but I’ve been asked by those who are just getting started for some tips on what to do. My style has evolved somewhat and I’ve already revealed some of my most awkward interviews. But if you are interested, here are... Read more

Analyzing Katy Perry (Hudson) in the Book ‘A Life of Fireworks’

Last updated on: March 8, 2021 at 1:17 pm By DeWayne Hamby

As most of you who read this blog know, I interviewed a young Katy Perry many years ago when she released a Christian album. Because of that brief meeting, last January, a writer working on a biography contacted me for some perspective on her early years. I gave some opinions, but declined to speak with too much authority on the subject. Today, I realized that book has released (see it on Amazon here) on Omnibus Press, so I downloaded the Kindle...

Brush with villainy (an encounter in an elevator)

Last updated on: August 3, 2011 at 7:24 pm By DeWayne Hamby

Nothing could have prepared me for that moment. I found myself face to face with the imposing villain. He stood several feet above me, staring into the very eyes that had witnessed the worst he had to offer—shooting, killing, maiming all those who stood in his way. I couldn’t question his identity; I was positive it was him, even without his namesake feature. The elevator doors closed, removing any chance of escape. I stared at him, noting his distinctive yet... Read more

Kristin Chenoweth Interview on “As I Am”

Last updated on: August 2, 2011 at 6:15 pm By DeWayne Hamby

This was not one of the awkward interviews I mentioned in a previous entry. Oddly enough, I only discovered the acting/musical superstar Kristin Chenoweth after this interview, which was conducted in February 2005. She was releasing a gospel album, As I Am, and I was presented the opportunity to speak to her. The publicist told me she’d become famous for a role in Wicked, a musical about the Wicked Witch. At that time, I’d never heard of the musical, either. But... Read more

Awkward interviews

Last updated on: July 30, 2011 at 6:47 pm By DeWayne Hamby

If I had to guess, I’d say I’ve done more than 500 interviews through my 20 years a journalist. That’s a conservative estimate. These conversations have been, almost without exception, a wonderful chance to connect with an author or artist regarding their production. Fun, exciting, personal; they are wonderful memories! But . . . there are a few moments through the years that, try as I might, I can’t forget. They go down in the Awkward Moments Hall of Fame.... Read more

Doing For One: Thoughts on Andy Stanley’s message

Last updated on: March 22, 2011 at 7:17 pm By DeWayne Hamby

Most Christian readers seem to know and listen to Andy Stanley, founder of Catalyst and Northpoint Church, now, but I can actually say my history listening to him goes a little farther than the norm. As a teenager in Marietta, I attended Metro Bible Study, a nondenominational weekly event. Andy was one of the featured speakers. One of his messages, “My Yoke Is Easy,” struck such a chord with me that it gave me definition to some of my high... Read more
