About this title

Synopsis

This book provides a practical and richly informative introduction to feature writing and the broader context in which features journalists operate.

As well as covering the key elements and distinctive features that constitute good feature writing, Feature Writing: A Practical Introduction also offers a rich resource of real life examples, case studies, and exercises.

Authors Susan Pape and Sue Featherstone have drawn on their considerable shared experience to provide a solid and engaging grounding in the principles and practice of feature writing.

This book will be invaluable for trainee feature writers.
