In this workshop, you will conceive, develop, and complete an article advocating or defending freedom and submit it to a publication of your choosing.

With direct, personal guidance from Craig Biddle and Jon Hersey, you will:

  • Identify a problem and a solution pertaining to the advancement of liberty,
  • Develop a clear theme and create a sound structure for your argument,
  • Develop supporting examples to concretize your key points,
  • Write and edit an article,
  • Submit it for publication.

This is a workshop, and it will require substantial thought and effort, including several hours of work outside of class. The payoff will be a completed article of which you can be proud—and the knowledge and ability to repeat the process again and again.

Dive in. Create your proof of concept. Become a serious writer.

* Prerequisite: To enroll in this workshop, you must either have completed “How to Write Powerfully in Defense of Liberty” or have permission from the instructors.
