Ever wish you could change the world just with your writing? You can.

Women, Action and the Media invites you to join us at Simmons College on Saturday, March 6 for a powerful writing workshop unlike any you've ever taken. The OpEd Project will teach you the secrets to writing the kind of op-eds that really get published, and give you all the tools you need to place them - skills that have the potential to make people listen to voices in the Jewish community. Details below!

Saturday, March 6, 10AM – 5PM
Hosted by the Simmons Institute for Leadership and Change
at Simmons College, Boston

The Op-Ed pages of major newspapers are read by diplomats, businesspeople, scholars, and those in the highest levels of government. They can sway public opinion and change the world. A single op-ed can make you part of a national debate. And it’s the one section of the newspaper dedicated to outside contributors and divergent opinions.

This seminar is designed to help you identify the ideas and causes that you care about, and will show you how to write about them to make a difference. You’ll learn how to generate winning ideas, how to craft a powerful argument, how to use news hooks, how to address or preempt your potential critics, how to pitch an idea, and how to frame an issue to make your point and persuade your readers. We will explore ways to write more broadly, to think bigger, and to make a bigger impact on the world. This seminar is not just about writing op-eds–it’s about empowering you to find your voice and make a difference.
