If you love sports and are looking to get paid for your passion, this course is for you! Nikki is an Editor and Senior Sports Writer at La Liga News UK and freelance sports writer for It's Round & It's White. She'll teach you the key elements that make up any sports article.

In this class you'll learn:

  • the steps involved in writing a feature

  • tips to start writing

Plus, we have a bonus lecture with Sam Leveridge, a freelance journalist with Marca.
This course is the third in a series on "How to become a sports writer".
The series is for people who are looking to get into sports writing, whether you are passionate about sports and want to get paid for your passion as a full-time career or as part of your freelance side hustle.
I recommend before taking this course, that you take the first course in the series which reviews all the sports writing basics.
