Reviews
These thought processes aren't just good for the writer fighting to write op-ed, but also for the reader who loves a solid point made in a juicy, coherent, mind-provoking essay. Nicely done.
—C. Hope Clark, Founder, Funds for Writers
Although I've spent a career writing newspaper (and later blog) opinion pieces, I have been re-educated about that discipline by reading this excellent resource.
