S3E6: S03E06: Stephanie Convery on Feature Stories

  • サマリー

  • “Focus on the intimate and particular.”

    When it comes to feature writing, Stephanie Convery says it is often the small details that count. Her work with Guardian Australia involves shining a light on inequality, and frequently focuses on people’s personal circumstances. She likens features to creative writing in the need to draw on literary devices to ‘show’ rather than ‘tell’ the reader why a story matters.

    She says the key to starting any feature story is being curious.

    “When you go to write a feature you don’t necessarily know all the answers to the questions that you’ve asked. Part of finding the answers is writing.”
