Sample Interview

While a first-time author, Scott has worked with some journalists for years through his various companies. He is well versed in what's helpful for journalists on tight deadlines who need targeted content delivered succinctly.

Here's what Emmy Award winning NBC news anchor Steve Bunin said about him:

Scott James’ book, Prepared Neighborhoods, will save lives. It is must-read, page-turner despite its daunting subject matter, and Scott’s ability to transform a scary future into a manageable and more enjoyable present is visionary. 

As part of our extensive earthquake preparedness coverage at KING5 in Seattle, Scott’s expertise has proved invaluable.  He has the rare skill of being able to speak comfortably with both experts and layman, decoding science and psychology into the manageable sound bites of television. 

In more than 20 years of journalism, I’ve never come across someone who brought more to the table – from story tips to helpful suggestions about camera angles. I can honestly say - with no pun intended - Scott James is literally the most prepared guest I’ve ever interviewed.
