Interview Questions for a Fascinating Feature

While I am against using a completely generic list of interview questions, I find that there are a few I turn to time and time again when writing a feature profile. To write a compelling Q&A, use a mix of what I’ve listed below in combination with a few that are industry or person-specific. Generate these questions by doing research on your subject.

Here is a list of questions that will help you REALLY get to know the person you’re writing about:

  • Who is your biggest inspiration?

  • What advice would you give to someone looking to get into the same field?

  • Dead or alive, who is someone you would like to have dinner with?

  • What are you most looking forward to?

  • How do you stay grounded?

  • How do you stay motivated?

  • What is the one thing you could be bribed with?

  • Who knows you the best?

These questions are guaranteed to give you some interesting answers AND get your creative juices flowing! Good luck!
