Everything you need to write opinion pieces on all platforms.
Here’s the promise of the class:
Taught in one class, this event will give you the tools to start writing opinion pieces immediately.
After the training you will be able to:
- Write solid pieces for newspaper op-ed pages, public radio airing and publication on digital sites
- Submit those pieces for publication using strategies that move you to the front of the line
- Influence a whole new audience of readers and draw attention to your writing
Op-eds are a terrific first step to writing memoir, even for complete beginners. They help you test out ideas, opinions and arguments in a shorter setting and practice writing to persuade — a key to good memoir.
Op-eds are also a fun opportunity to get exposure. In fact, my entire writing career can be traced back to one article I wrote over 30 years ago. I also had a student in one of my classes whose first-ever published Op-ed ran in more than 500 newspapers nationwide. This can happen to you.
And then there is this: The teacher. This class will be taught by Rex W. Smith, Editor and Vice President of The Times Union, a major metropolitan newspaper in New York's Capital Region. A graduate of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, Smith has served as a Pulitzer Prize juror, writes a weekly newspaper column and hosts a nationally syndicated public radio show. Oh yeah, and he’s my husband.
If you’re looking for a concrete step to give you the practice, confidence, and exposure you’ll need to publish a book-length memoir, join me for this class.
You get lifetime access to the class so you can listen to it again and again.
