Creative and flexible feature writing takes readers a step beyond hard news stories, tapping into readers' interests, illuminating real-life characters, and providing meaning and substance with a writer's own style. In this course, students learn how to use a personal tone, deploy different narrative techniques and obtain strong, profound responses from in-depth interviews to produce a long form story. Students also learn ways to market themselves and sell their content to editors and corporate clients.
Prerequisite(s): One of the following: a minimum 70% in English First Peoples 12, English Studies 12, Literary Studies 12, or equivalent; a minimum "C" grade in a university-level English course for which Langara College awards transfer credit; a minimum "C" grade in ENGL 1120; an "S" grade in ENGL 1107 or 1110; or permission of the instructor.
