Feature Writing

I have been an avid reader of Vogue since I was fourteen. I've collected them since I turned 14, when my aunty subscribed me, and I have not yet stopped that subscription. My room is home to a stack of just over four years worth of Vogue magazines, as well as a couple collectors versions from the early 90s that I found in our loft that my mum had read and hidden away. And if there's one thing Vogue is full of (apart from advertising) it's features.

 

And so I was absolutely thrilled to find out we'd be doing feature writing this term. FINALLY a chance to express some creativity. Confined to the chains of news writing for the first term (Yes, I think of it in such brutal measures) I was so happy to finally be let off the reigns and extend my interests a little bit.

And that is what feature writing is to me. The interviewing process is so much more relaxed, it's a conversation that I have to pay close attention to. I am proud of the work I've produced this term, especially feature writing, I put 100 % into getting the perfect angle on my profile piece and really getting all I could out of the interview.

All I can say is, it's definitely more my thing than news writing was.
