Class Description

Description

Do you have strong opinions and no one to share them with? Write an op-ed and make some money off of your passion (op-eds are opinion essays with a strong personal point-of-view). The market for op-eds and cultural essays are huge right now, and there are plenty of places to break in.

In this class, L.A. Times contributing op-ed editor Erin Aubry Kaplan will show you how to write an op-ed, make your argument as strong as possible, and pitch to the right editors. Newspapers and websites like the L.A. Times, New York Daily News, Salon and Wall Street Journal have blogs and pages that need op-eds and essays every day and Erin will cover the best way to approach all of them. By the end of the class, you'll have completed and polished two 800-word essays and be ready to send them out to be published! Voila, an essayist!

Price includes snacks and tea.
