About this Event
This will be a workshop to help improve our letter writing skills and social media posts to promote awareness for causes that are important to us.
Dr. Lancaster will lead this workshop at the Campaign HQ on writing political opinions. One of the best ways to encourage people to vote Democratic is clear and succinct letters to the editor or online opinion pieces! This workshop can prepare you to make your voice heard. Research shows that after reading the front page, most readers turn to the letters to the editor. Dr. Lancaster is a Professor Emerita from Midwestern State University and has presented writing workshops all over the US and in Europe. She is the author of multiple books found in libraries around the world. A special education teacher by trade, she breaks down complicated tasks into simple ones, and her presentation style is engaging, interactive, and appropriate for both beginning and advanced writers. This workshop will address:
- Selecting and narrowing your topic
- Defining your target audience
- Using a personal story to engage the readers
- Supporting your position with verified data
- Calling your readers to action
- Tailoring your submission to a specific newspaper
