You do not want to miss this weekend in Tulsa with Pulitzer Prize winning columnists and journalists. I am honored to be one of the speakers.
Column writing is a lonely profession, so our annual shot-in-the-arm reinforces what we do and how to do it even better. We aim to be fact-based as well as entertaining. We want to expand our paid venues. This year’s many takeaways will do that! Registration is Open. Reserve your spot! Here’s more about my session:

Reporting in Columns Pays More: Universities Provide Experts and Data
Freelancers know that reported pieces pay more than opinion pieces and when you marry the two for a reported column you need the latest information to support your stance. Award winning freelance writer and columnist Bonnie Jean Feldkamp will share how to use universities as go-to sources for experts, research, trends, and column ideas. Adam Earnhardt, Chair of the Department of Communication at Youngstown State University, speaks from the perspective of why this is equally good for the school and its students. No matter what kind of column you write, make your local universities work for you.
