I agree that book authors are probably best, however it would be good ON OCCASION to have a magazine editor or screenwriter. That being said, my favorite authors are: Stephen King Leo F. Buscaglia James Patterson Brenda Novak. All are probably hard to get ahold of, but keep it up the good work! -Katharine --- On Tue, 2/15/11, D. J. Russell <[log in to unmask]> wrote: From: D. J.

What does everyone think about trying to take aim at more diversity in our interview pool? A concept that we are being introduced to this semester is that professional writing does not cover only novels and non-fiction. We can walk out here and get jobs as diverse as screenwriters and columnists. I still say that the primary focus of the interviews should be published authors of books (non-fiction or fiction). I'm also sending out another request for the top five favorite authors of many of you. I only received a few responses on my first fishing expedition. Let's know who you like! D. J. Russell Webmaster
