Op-Eds for Higher-Ed
So, you want to opine?
Welcome to Op-Eds for Higher Ed
I work with academics and researchers to outline their findings and thought leadership ideas before crafting op-eds. Many need help with the details, as well as the pitch and placement of their op-eds into appropriate publications. Successful placements elevate the reputation of university and author, and deliver critical messages to new audiences and donors. Op-Eds for Higher Ed works with universities and their faculty to increase visibility through strategically placed op-eds in top-tier outlets.
Why Op-Eds for Higher-Ed?
The goal is to develop your thought leadership and disseminate some of your research far beyond your academic circles. As the Commentary Editor for an ACC school, I collaborated with dozens of professors and administrators, achieving more than 250 op-ed placements. By focusing on strategically targeted national and regional outlets, such as The New York Times and The Washington Post, the published op-eds often get the attention of prospective students, parents, and donors.
Faculty research has the potential to shape public debate — but many scholars struggle to translate their expertise into compelling, publishable commentary. That’s where Op-Eds for Higher Ed’s services are most effective:
One-on-one coaching to help faculty turn research into timely, persuasive op-eds.
Editorial support to ensure pitches meet the standards of major opinion editors.
Workshops designed for groups of faculty who want to engage the public more effectively.
