A feature lead is more of a quick preview to what is coming, it is not packed full of important information like a hard news lead is. The feature lead is a chance to attract readers and give a quick preview of what is to come. There are several types of feature leads, Anecdotal, narrative, descriptive, and question. An anecdotal lead is a specific example that is used to make a general point about the story. Narrative leads present a story to the reader and generally run longer than anecdotal leads. Descriptive leads are usually used with stories that focus on a person, place or group. They include only details that support the main point of the story. Question leads are rarely used but they are sometimes used to catch the reader off guard. 

A summary lead is similar to a feature lead but is more of a description and a scene setter, it sometimes includes the 5 w's and an h but not always. The summary lead is usually the first choice for most feature writers. 

Example of Narrative Lead. 

Chance McCoy strummed the guitar and plucked a mandolin before finding his calling: the fiddle. He remembers going to fiddle conventions in Virginia and West Virginia six years ago and watching musicians jam. 

Example of Descriptive lead

They know him as "Black," a convicted felon and longtime member of the Bloods street gang. He is leaning far back in a chair, under the only working light in a nondescript row house in East Baltimore. He is talking about street life and hustling. And this group of more than 25 gang members and young men recently sprung from prison and hanging on his every word.
