ENG 202 - Feature Writing


An introduction to the art and craft of feature writing. The feature story is a rendering of reality into words, which, when done well, has its feet in both journalism and literature. We will discuss the elements of the feature story, as well as its various types and formats. We will learn how to find and develop stories, how to perform background research on subjects and how to interview. Course work will include reading and discussing feature stories and assigned texts. Students’ stories will be read and discussed in class.

Prerequisites: Verbal-expression course; first-year students by permission.
