Meet THe Team
These days, our voices matter more than ever. In this class, we will learn how to write and pitch op-eds and letters to the editor to local and national publications. This information-packed session will include a lecture component, a set of short, generative exercises, and time for Q&A. Participants will leave with a sense of topics they could write about, a template to pitch to editors, an outline of a potential op-ed, and a head-start on researching publications they could consider for submissions.
