Follow Up

Immediately after the interview, get a handwritten thank you note out to your subject. They've given some of their time to indirectly help your career, so be sure to express gratitude.

Once the piece has been written, it is generally not necessary (or even a good idea) to allow them to see it ahead of time. Instead, send a copy of the magazine after it goes to press, along with another short note.
