I have two people that expressed interest in having a “How Do You Fedora” article- Neal Gompa and Dennis Gilmore. Both of them said “yes” around 2-3 weeks ago- I’m waiting for their responses to the interview questions before starting a draft.
I would also say, with a series like HDYF, we may not need an approval process. We know what the series is for; editors could simply work with the author/interviewer to schedule a slot appropriately.
