Feature Writing

Moving beyond the no nonsense facts of news stories, features include detail, description, and depth to delight the reader and reveal the hidden stories behind people, places, trends, and events.
Features provide writers with room to flex their pens and show off their style yet offer a reader useful and interesting information.
Explore the fun and fascinating genre of feature writing. Learn about the basics of feature writing, including story types, organizational patterns, style guides, use of sources, and the publication process. (.3 CEU)
Instructor: Darrell Fike, received his doctorate from Florida State University's Creative Writing Program. Darrell is a professor in VSU's English Department. His published work includes academic essays, creative non-fiction, poetry, and journalism.
