Feature Writing

(4 Credits)

This course aims to develop students' skills in feature writing for print and online magazines and trade journals. Emphasis will be placed on all stages of development, from a feature's conception and research to its drafting, revision, and publication. Particular attention will be paid to research and reporting techniques as well as to the demands of writing compelling pieces of varied lengths, from short-form to longer features. The course objective is to prepare students to pitch and publish material written for this course, whether in an NYUAD student publication or other venue.
