Let’s face it, writers today must be proficient at wearing two hats—both as writer and self promoter. Publication of your personal essays and op-eds (opinion pieces) is a valuable tool that can help market your book(s), build your platform, enhance your credibility, form relationships with editors, and land you an agent.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to craft your pitches for personal essays and op-eds, and lift them out of the slush pile. Op-eds are not just for PhDs, celebrities, and those with discrete technical knowledge. Everyone has an expertise and we’ll explore how to find yours.
