Overview:

A features writer is a journalist who specializes in writing feature stories for newspapers, magazines, and websites. Features writers typically research and write stories that are longer than traditional news stories, and they often focus on topics that are more in-depth and complex. Features writers may also write profiles of people, places, or events, as well as reviews of products, services, or entertainment. They may also write opinion pieces or provide commentary on current events. Features writers must be able to conduct research, interview sources, and write compelling stories that engage readers.
