Join us every Thursday for a 45-minute interactive session with an Editor-in-Residence. Bring an idea, a draft, or simply your questions. These working sessions include live edits of participant op-eds, strategic pitching advice, and open Q&A. Whether you’re actively writing or just listening in, you’ll gain practical insights to move your work forward.

Every month, we invite guest experts from our community to share industry knowledge and discuss aspects of voice, identity, and how ideas and words come to change the world. These live conversations offer practical strategies, insider knowledge, and fresh perspectives to help you shape your ideas and amplify your impact.

Reconnect with The OpEd Project community in these 60-minute, lightly guided sessions designed to spark creativity and momentum. We begin with a brief welcome, move into a short free write, then gather in small groups to share and reflect before closing together. Whether you’re feeling stuck or simply seeking inspiration, this is a space to write, connect, and recharge.

Access to our Video Library with scores of Expert Talks by industry leaders on topics like book publishing, memoir writing, personal branding, the dilemmas of taking up space (white anti-racist thought leadership), protecting yourself from online abuse, imposter syndrome, public speaking, pitching strategies from top editors, and more.

Write To Change The World: The OpEd Project’s globally recognized “Write To Change The World” workshop is a discovery-based interrogation of authority and knowledge. It walks participants through a method for changing hearts and minds, addressing opposition, building consensus, and thinking bigger. It connects them to a network of journalist mentors, and results in them publishing op-eds (if they wish). It also provides valuable tools for anyone seeking to build a case for something new (new book, new research, new job, new business, new policy, etc). Previous participants have described the workshop as life-changing. It is open to the public, 100% virtual, and typically takes place over two days.

Accelerating Ideas*: This thrilling advanced workshop, offered a few times a year only, focuses on becoming smarter (and generating more and better ideas) by engaging in creative, purposeful interaction with a cohort of diverse peers. We connect ideas across time, space, expertise and identity - and accelerate our thinking by investing in our different and far-ranging knowledge sets. It is designed to make us more strategic and intelligent - both as individuals and as a collective. Participants emerge with tools to generate new ideas; tactics for being timely at any time; an outline for a draft op-ed (on an idea only you can write, but might never have thought of before); and a global network of diverse peers amongst whom you have the potential to increase your impact and our intelligence. This highly energetic and interactive workshop culminates in the entire group writing an op-ed together - an exercise in collaborative action.

*“Accelerating Ideas” is exclusively for alums of our core “Write to Change the World” workshop.
