feature writer
Long-form article author
A feature writer is a journalist who writes feature articles rather than hard news.
While news reporters cover breaking events with factual urgency, feature writers produce longer, more stylized pieces—profiles, human interest stories, trend pieces, or in-depth explorations of topics.
The work allows more room for narrative voice and creative structure: She started as a beat reporter but moved to feature writer after her magazine profiles gained attention.
