: This course is designed to teach you the type of feature writing characteristic of magazines and literary journalism, from short, tightly-written articles, to full-length pieces. Analysis of the magazine industry and comparison of magazine styles and content will also be covered. Other topics include pitching ideas through query letters, researching, interviewing and editing, with some discussion of ethical, legal and business issues.
