Description
You have opinions, you express them all the time on social media, over coffee with friends, in emails that you save to drafts—why not do so effectively, and with style? With a good op-ed, a writer can share their expertise, build their platform, and weigh-in on the most critical issues of the day. This breakout session will review basic op-ed structure, introduce the fundamentals of logic that are key to an op-ed's success, and talk about publishing them in paying markets. Attendees will generate ideas for and outline a few op-eds of their own.
