Since founding the Op-Ed Project, a unique effort to train and develop thought leaders, Katie Orenstein has conducted trainings all around the country, appeared on ABC TV World News, Good Morning America, MSNBC, CNN and All Things Considered and won an Echoing Green social entrepreneur fellowship. Participants in this session will gain a new perspective on what really makes an op-ed resonate, not just with editors - but with readers. Following that, they’ll be partnered with a mentor to help lead them to success.

Testimonials

“Orenstein's class was incredible, inspirational. She gets you to ask the important questions: What do you have to say? Who do you want to reach? And how can you express it to get heard? She got people fired up, and they got published. I am deeply impressed.” —Stacy Sullivan

“I emerged with the sense that I both could and should participate in the nation's ongoing discussion on its op-ed pages. Some of the language I used in my San Francisco Chronicle op-ed came directly out of the seminar.” —Cindy Cohn, Legal Director, Electronic Frontier Foundation
