Write a Blog Post or Opinion Piece

Writing point-of-view or opinion pieces is a great way to share your thought leadership and expertise on topics you are interested in. There are several outlets for these types of piece:

  • BU Wheelock has a blog. If you are interested in writing content for the blog, contact us.
  • POV is a feature for BU Today.
  • The Conversation is a nonprofit, independent news outlet that reaches millions of readers. BU is a university sponsor.
  • You can also publish point-of-view pieces as articles on LinkedIn.

If you place an op-ed or letter to the editor, please let us know. We can promote it through BU Wheelock’s social media channels.
