LitFest: Creating a Winning Magazine Feature

Starts: Saturday, October 23 9:00 AM

Ends: Saturday, October 23 11:00 AM

Everybody loves a great magazine feature - the kind of story that is fresh and compelling, has voice and quality writing, is well-researched and effortlessly connects with your audience. But how do you get from the nugget of an idea to flawless final product?

Lawrence Scanlan discusses what it takes to go from pitch to publication. As both former editor and award-winning writer, Scanlan examines the process from both sides of the divide: exploring the tensions, diplomacies and battles that often mark the writer-editor relationship. He offers practical tips on how to go from first draft to final, while sharing experiences on how to make the process move along swimmingly, and common pitfalls that can force it off the rails.
