This event will be an interactive training for people wanting to write opinion pieces for media.

Using her own writing and process as an anchor, Naomi Buck will offer best practises, tips and tools of the trade to help participants not just write an op-ed, but increase their chance of getting published and read. Naomi will discussing choosing a topic, pitching a piece to the outlet, how to choose the right outlet and the ins and outs of good research.

Using model examples, Naomi will highlight what makes for a strong piece that editors are looking for and grabs readers attention.

The floor will then be opened up to the room for a Q&A session. Participants will be encouraged to submit questions in advance. If a participant would like Naomi to comment on their work during the event, they should also send a copy of the document upon registration.

The evening will end with a brief round up (by ClimateFast) of upcoming climate, environment and diversity issues that we would like more public engagement and education on.

This online event will have closed captioning
