If you’re the type of person who loves a good story, is always searching for a unique angle, and who loves to talk to others, you might have considered feature writing.
In this practical virtual masterclass with Guardian journalist Sirin Kale, you will learn how to put your hunger for great storytelling to good use. Sirin will cover how to identify a compelling story, how to research potential interview subjects and put them at ease, and how to master the bread and butter of feature narratives: your voice.
You will also learn how to get your stories into print, as Sirin covers the commissioning process, including what editors look for in a story, and how to grab their attention with a pitch.
