Introduction to feature writing

Introduction to feature writing is an intensive course which gives you a better grasp of all aspects of feature writing, from generating ideas to submitting work.

Writing a feature can often prove to be the most difficult skill associated with journalism. This course aims to give you the knowledge and confidence to produce high quality features again and again.

Training is provided by means of classroom teaching and practical exercises carried out under guidance. Sessions cover what makes a good feature, and how to impress editors; the importance of style and structure; and how to write headlines and proofread copy. Click here for the full course outline.
