Have you ever wondered what you'd say if you ran into a celebrity or industry leader that you admire? Would you be tongue-tied or would you be cool and nonchalant? What questions would you ask?

Think about people you admire in business, sports, entertainment, or of course, writing. Pick out one and write a mini-interview script as if you were actually going to interview that person. Better yet, be brave! Visit www.ContactAnyCelebrity.com and reach out to do a real interview article like those you can find in AWAIonline.com’s article archives.

At the very least, there's valuable free content on that website, such as the article, "How to Celebrity-ize Your Business."
