How to write better features

– with Jeremy Story Carter

When it comes to telling a story, nothing really beats a longform feature.

Being given the time to weave colour and depth into your writing allows you to not just report the straight facts to your audience, it gives you an opportunity to transport them into the story – to get to know the characters, follow a narrative and ultimately understand the topic in a far more detailed way than they would with a straight ‘5 Ws’ report.

So, how does one of Australia’s best feature writers go about it? Jeremy Story Carter shares his tips and tricks.
