New York Times best-selling author
This week, Ira spoke with Glenn Plaskin, a New York Times best-selling author and interviewer who has written 30 books, including Horowitz: The Biography of Vladimir Horowitz and Turning Point: Pivotal Moments in the Lives of America’s Celebrities. In this prolific episode of “Ira’s Everything Bagel,” Glenn talks about his early life and originally not planning to be a writer, but instead a classical pianist; the importance of selling your idea instead of yourself; why his first book was life changing; why, after his first successful book on Horowitz, he decided to become an interviewer; the intimate rapport you establish with your interviewee; his backstage “moments” with celebrities; why he wouldn’t have written books and done interviews if he hadn’t felt bad about himself; his ability to connect with people; why he became a ghost writer; how everybody has a book inside them; bringing out the true emotion of the story; why his favorite book, Katie Up And Down The Hall, The True Story of How One Dog Turned Five Neighbors into a Family, is about the concept of family; and why a book is sometimes a legacy for an author.
