Workshops
Writing op-eds or blog posts that maximizes the prospect of their getting published.
There are no available registration dates at this time.
Many people aspire to have their opinions and perspectives appear in black and white on the op–ed pages of newspapers or on the digital op–ed pages of prominent blogs like HuffingtonPost. There is a technique to writing op-eds or blog posts that maximizes the prospect of their getting published. There is also a skill set to choosing and approaching the publications where you want your op–ed to appear.
Over the weekend, we’ll examine op-eds and blog posts, then work to identify a focus on a topic, and lastly you’ll write and revise your op-ed for publication. At the end of the weekend, you’ll have at least one op–ed that has a real shot at publication.
