Caption Writer
About
An image says a thousand words, but without a well-worded caption the context or message can be lost or misunderstood. Caption writers put together informative, snappy, concise and sometimes humorous lines for newspapers, and magazines and other publications. They often work with feature writers, sub editors and editors to ensure that accuracy, context, and creative are all in sync.

Practitioners create a space for the people they are helping, and let them bring the content (rather than a teacher or mentor whose job it is to impart education and information). An impartial stance means being in a place of non-judgement, of holding a space of psychological safety, and maintaining an equal voice to all those taking part.
