Op-ed writing is a terrific way to get your work published for the first time and help you build a platform as a writer, too. In this interactive, hands-on workshop, you'll get tips on coming up with ideas; how to use your personal story as the driver of your piece; and how to pitch.

Learn from a veteran journalist and author whose commentaries have been published in USA Today, The Washington Post, WBUR's Cognoscenti and other publications.
