- Hi Carleen,
I will co-presenting with two other writer friends on writing op-ed pieces and getting pieces ready for submission to the Denver Post Colorado Voices contest. All three of us have been chosen in the past. My section will be on using blogging to strength your writer's voice and to use as it a platform to write concise and compelling pieces.
Look forward to meeting you!
