For over 10 years, Charles Fishman has been a senior writer at Fast Company magazine. He knows a thing or two about research (he was the first reporter allowed inside a Tupperware factory as well as the nation's only bomb factory), but even more so, the man can write.
Our very own own Todd Sattersten had a 30 minute conversation with Fishman on writing - the craft, the practice, the process, drafting, rewriting, voice, listening, speaking, and a variety of other points are covered; and the insight is excellent. Fishman also wrote The Economist's best book of 2006, The Wal-Mart Effect, so his work as a journalist branching into best selling author reveals a breadth of experience many other authors just don't have. This is great stuff to learn from.
