Your Takeaways
- MENTORSHIP: Work directly with active HPR writers and editors — pitch to publication, start to finish.
- FORMAT: Master HPR-style feature writing: structure, AP Style, journalistic concision.
- INTERVIEWS: Source experts, conduct on-the-record conversations, integrate quotes with integrity.
- EDITORIAL: Build and defend a feature argument with the rigor of a university-level publication.
What You Will Walk Away With
Over three days, you will produce a complete HPR-style feature article in progress — a 1,600–2,200 word investigative or analytical piece built around original research, conducted interviews, and a well-defended argument.
Past HPR workshops have helped participants produce work strong enough to submit to school newspapers, regional publications, and university application portfolios. Publication is never guaranteed — but every participant leaves with a tangible, polished draft, direct editorial feedback from Harvard writers, and the full journalistic skillset to take their writing further on their own terms.
