“Writing Features for Magazines & Newspapers:” A Workshop w/ Amanda Bulman!
Please note: Registration for this workshop closes at 6 p.m. on March 26.
Feature writing is a unique beast—a place where writers have a chance to blend storytelling and reporting.
In this workshop, we’ll explore and examine different types of features.
We’ll learn about constructing a pitch, conducting an effective interview, organizing the structure of the story, writing a dynamic opening line, and closing the piece effectively.
This session will take two hours and will require a bit of advanced preparation.
Reading List Selections:
• Love in the Time of Robots by Ellen Gamerman
• America’s Midlife Crisis: lessons from a survivalist summit by Stephen Marche
• Violinist has the World on 2 Strings by Steve Lopez
PLEASE NOTE: THIS WORKSHOP IS OPEN TO WANL MEMBERS ONLY.
