Magazine Feature Writing
Quality feature writing combines journalism best practice with creative writing. This course is a step-by-step guide to researching, interviewing and writing techniques, which will assist students in structuring and presenting factual information within a compelling, creative writing format. Students will learn how to develop story leads, introduce description and personality to their work, how to identify clear themes from multiple information sources and how to structure, edit and polish their finished product. The course presenter will act as the students' editor, to produce publishable work throughout the course.
Students will also study feature writing in a range of areas including travel, the arts, news features, profiles, corporate case studies, infotainment and lifestyle. Students will consider audiences and writing styles and identify opportunities for publication in print and on the web, including direct to consumer digital media models.
This course is for people who want to develop feature writing skills for magazines, newspapers, specialist publications and digital media platforms.
