Blog 4: Interview Preparation

1. Who do you plan to interview?  Why?

     I plan on interviewing Jimmy Jay from Amazing Comic Conventions. I chose Jimmy because I felt like he was one of the best choices I can find for my senior topic. He knows the business and how to run it, so that is why I chose to interview him.

2.What additional questions do you plan to ask? 

    I haven't really come up with more additional questions, but I plan on those questions to make him comfortable since it seems like it might be his first time being interviewed by a random teenager.

Maybe the questions will be like:

Did you like comics as a kid?
What made you want to sell comic books for living?
