Want to write for the WSJ, New York Times, or Huffington Post?

By: Richard Lorenc

Tomorrow is the deadline to apply for a free, seven-week program offered by PolicyMic.com that will train you to become an effective, pithy, publishable political news and opinion writer for the cause of liberty.

PolicyMic.com is AF’s partner in getting the liberty message out to new audiences of young people. We’ve worked with them to host debate questions from the Chicago chapter’s event last week (“Is income inequality unjust?” “Does the presidential race actually matter?” and “Is Ron Paul’s foreign policy dangerous?”). And last week, they published a widely-read (and commented) piece I wrote on Ron Paul’s long-term impact on U.S. politics.

Now you can learn how to post great content on their website and elsewhere through this program.

PolicyMic’s Political Journalism Bootcamp will train you to write provocatively and persuasively about politics. As a member, you will complete a series of challenges over the course of seven weeks designed to test and train your writing and new media skills. Along the way, there are prizes to win and our editors will give you feedback on everything you write. When you’re done, you will have a polished portfolio of writing and an audience of readers.

All work can be done remotely, with a flexible time schedule. To apply, please send a resume to [email protected].

The deadline is tomorrow (February 3rd), so apply now!
