Writing the Op Ed [Kathleen Alcala]
Intermediate | The Seattle Times accepts brief letters for their op ed page. At 650 words, an opinion piece requires more shaping, but stretches your influence much further. In this class, you’ll learn how to select a topic, choose the right words, and understand your audience. We will read and discuss examples, then write and discuss our own work. Writers should be comfortable working with an editor. A list of tips will be provided.
