Tuesday, Sept. 10
6:00pm-8:00pm EST
In “Who’s This: Writing the Profile Piece,” E. Alex Jung will walk participants through the process of writing two profile pieces -- one short, one long -- with an hour devoted to each. The first will focus on a sketch of the musician Mitski (what's called an "encounter" in magazine parlance) and the second will be a posthumous portrait of the fiction writer Anthony Veasna So. Participants will come away with a basic understanding of how to write a journalistic profile piece.
E. Alex Jung is a features writer at New York Magazine. He has also written for Dissent, the LA Review of Books, Buzzfeed, and other publications.
