Mainly what is needed is to get the pertinent information through an
email interview. It may take a couple of iterations. I suggest letting
your own curiosity and interests be your guides. The best interview is
one that elicits the personality of the interviewee and reveals the
"so what" of their project beyond just the details.

People on the Promo team and Dot editors are available to help mold
the responses with attention to punctuation, grammar, spelling and
general editing. So don't be too concerned with that stuff.

Ping us if you want.

Carl
