81st Q&A Debuts

I’m planning a new round of Q&As this late winter and spring. I recently sent out 29 invitations (would have sent more but found that an amazing number of blogger/practitioner Web sites had no contact information). Seventeen practitioners responded affirmatively, and a particularly quick and eager respondent, Nora Camps of Duo.ca, will be featured in the coming week.

A bit of history and stats — just because I find it fun to compile this stuff … I began sending invitations for the Q&A series in the summer of 2008 and began publishing Q&As in early September of that year.

I have sent roughly 174 invitations. Three kinds of responses occur: 1) No response at all, 2) a response declining the invitation, and 3) a response accepting the invitation. The third response is the most common, but it doesn’t mean the respondent will necessarily follow through with responding to my questions after I’ve researched them and sent them out.

I was pleased and a bit surprised to realize I’ve conducted 80 Q&As to date. That means that about 41 percent of invitations yield published Q&As.

When I hit 100 Q&As, I want to revise Storied Careers, my free compilation ebook featuring the Q&A story practitioners.

I’m excited about the launch of the latest series. The bulk of them will start appearing in February, and especially March and beyond.
