Ask a Journalist: Edit Like a Pro

Ask a Journalist Office Hours: Edit Like a Pro

Get invaluable feedback on how to make your op-ed drafts extra powerful and persuasive.

This is a live 45-minute session with a seasoned journalist who will review the structural elements of an op-ed, live edit a few drafts (chosen from among those you submit) and answer your questions about form, content, and anything else writing-related.

Whether or not your op-ed is selected, you will get extremely useful insights into how a professional editor/journalist works and thinks, that will be immediately applicable.

The story we tell becomes the world we live in. The OpEd Project aims to elevate our community during this challenging and unprecedented time. We hope you will join us.

ABOUT THE OPED PROJECT

The OpEd Project is a global thought leadership project that accelerates the ideas and impact of underrepresented voices, especially women of all backgrounds. We believe the best ideas, regardless of where they come from, should have a chance to be heard and change the world. We also believe the world is more intelligent when it is more inclusive.

We are a community of journalists, commentary writers, thought leaders and change-agents who actively share knowledge, resources and connections across color, creed, class, sexuality, gender, age, ability and beyond. We have been featured in most major media. We have stunning results.
