Structuring with Substance

Hey Pretty Posse!  

This week, I’ve been brainstorming new ways to approach my feature article. After reflecting on my magazine’s mission, I want to ensure my writing has a voice that inspires and empowers. My topic centers on the common struggles teenage girls go through. To guide my brainstorming, I revisited some key elements of feature writing: strong storytelling, interviews for depth, and clear takeaways for readers. I’ve started mapping out a structure for the article: 

 

1. Introduction: A personal anecdote about times I’ve felt underestimated for embracing femininity.  

2. Cherish’s Story: Insights from my interview with Cherish

3. Tips for Confidence: Practical advice on blending your unique identity with professional success.  

4. Breaking Stereotypes: A discussion of societal perceptions and ways to challenge them.  

Cherish’s perspective will be an integral part of the piece, and I’m excited to interview her soon! Next, I’ll finalize the questions I plan to ask Cherish and start drafting the introduction. I also want to design a sidebar with “Quick Confidence Tips” as a bonus feature to tie into the theme.  

Until next time,  

Xoxo,
