Always set up interviews in development and conduct the interviews. You might not need the interview this time, but the time you place in can be useful later on.
Stating you have interviewed this list of experts on this topic is helpful. It shows you are prepared and serious. It will save the publisher time and effort. Give the name of the person interviewed, their job position and the date of the interview. Some fields chat quickly and new breakthroughs can make an ancient interview useless.
If the publisher shows any interest, question them if there are any other interviews they want done for the piece. Calculate expenses for the interviews already done and any additional interviews the publisher requires.
