Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"With clear writing and expertly crafted examples, this book goes beyond simply telling writers what to do and what not to do, but becomes a useful tool with its anecdotal evidence, challenging scenarios and actual sample writing how to become better feature writers."Tia C.M. TyreeDistrict of Columbia Housing Finance Agency "Expertly packaged and sharply written, Sumner and Miller's engaging text teaches not only basic elements of magazine writing, but also offers practical advice for today's developing journalist. Everything from sentence structure to story-pitching advice is vividly explained, and the authors wisely include points of view from members of the contemporary working press. Also noteworthy is a wealth of information regarding the Internet, perhaps the most valuable and treacherous tool for tomorrow's reporter." David Abrahamson, Ph.D. Helen G. Brown Research Professor of Journalism, Medill School of Journal, Northwestern University

Reseña del editor:

"Feature and Magazine Writing: Action, Angle and Anecdotes" genuinely models its message through lively writing, touches of humor and a conversational tone. Sumner and Miller cover a complete range of topics too often missing in existing texts. The topics include: finding original ideas; developing strong angles; writing for targeted, niche audiences; practical how-to instruction on the many different types of magazine articles; fresh perspective and advice from professional writers and editors; examples, exercises and sample illustrative articles; glossaries of publishing terms in each chapter; how to find the best Web sites and databases for background research; and, how to locate expert sources who are accessible for telephone interviews. This book is immediately applicable to the hundreds of journalism programs teaching 'magazine writing', 'feature writing' or similar courses, this tightly edited and colorfully written textbook is a must-have for future feature writers.
