Get invaluable feedback on how to make your op-ed drafts extra powerful and persuasive. Our  Editor in Residence reviews the structural elements of an op-ed, live edits a few drafts and answers your questions about form, content, and anything else writing-related. Our Editor in Residence also offers strategic thinking on where and how they might pitch each piece.

Capture an editor’s attention by crafting an irresistible pitch. Our Editor in Residence live-edits pitches (chosen from among those you submit), makes recommendations about improvements and answers your questions about everything from the best opening line to pitching etiquette.

“Ask A Journalist” office hours are short working sessions in which we review ideas and draft op-eds, focus on tactics, and answer live questions. There is no set curriculum and the weekly structure is informal. Our “Write To Change The World” workshops are a deep dive into changing hearts and minds, based on our internationally recognized core curriculum (7-8-hour journey, usually broken up over multiple days). They are designed to lead participants to new understandings of their knowledge, and concrete results—such as a new idea or op-ed draft. Participants can access follow-up support as desired from our “Ask a Journalist” office hours.

We welcome people of all identities, backgrounds, genders, and positions. We seek to overrepresent the underrepresented, including (but not limited to) women of all backgrounds. Office hours are a chance to expand our thinking as well as hone our ideas and writing at every level, and are designed to meet participants where they are, regardless of publishing experience.
