Want to write for the New Yorker? GQ? Publish lengthy narratives in Byliner and the Atavist?

For those of you eager to expand your writing skills and tell true stories with voice and detail and drama, consider taking English 722/ Feature Writing in Spring 2012. This course will build on your reporting and writing skills, asking you to immerse yourself in subjects to acquire the content needed to create a compelling narrative that reads like fiction. We'll read inspiring stories and write some of our own. By semester's end, if you've pitched in the effort, you should have a portfolio of pieces that could help you land some future freelance assignments for print and online publications.
