Writing Guidelines:

Questions to Ask Yourself When Writing
• Do I have a clear point to make?
• What is it?
• Who cares? (Writing with a particular audience in mind can inform how you execute your writing. Who is it that you are trying to convince? Why are you targeting that specific reader?)
• Is there substance to my argument?

Research:

Research Requirements: Proper research is necessary to write on a topic. You can mention the sources at the end of your writing. Only links to sources are allowed.

While the opinion and article pieces allow the writer to include their voice and express an opinion, To be successful, the columns must be grounded in solid research. Research involves acquiring facts, quotations, citations, data from sources, and personal observation. Research also allows readers to include sensory data (touch, taste, smell, sound, or sight) in a column. There are two basic methods of research:
• Field research: going to the scene, interviews, legwork; primary materials, observations,
and knowledge
• Library, academic, or internet, etc

Plagiarism: Your content should be original. Copy-pasting is strictly prohibited. Your writer account will be terminated permanently in case of copy-pasting. Only 10% of plagiarism is allowed.

Before submitting your content, confirm that your content is not published on any other platform, newspaper, magazine, etc.

Voice:
Having a strong voice is critical to a successful column or op-ed piece. Columns are typically conversational in tone, so you can imagine yourself conversing with your reader as you write (a short, focused conversation). But the range of voice used in columns can be wide: contemplative, conversational, descriptive, experienced, informative, informed, reflective, observant, reportorial, self-effacing, sophisticated, and humorous, among many other
possibilities. Sometimes, your voice is driven by the publication for which you are writing. A good method of perfecting your voice is to get in the habit of reading your writing aloud. Doing so gives you a clear sense of how your piece might sound – what your voice may come off as – to your intended reader.

Topic and Theme

Every successful opinion or column must have a clearly defined topic and theme.
• Topic: the person, place, issue, incident, or thing that is the primary focus of the column. The topic is usually stated in the first paragraph.
• Theme: another level of meaning to the topic. What’s the big, overarching idea of the column? What’s your point? Why is your point important? The theme may appear early in the piece or later when it may also serve as a turning point into a deeper level of argument.

Openings:
The first line of an opinion and column is crucial. The opening “hook” may grab the reader’s attention with a strong claim, a surprising fact, a metaphor, a mystery, or a counter-intuitive observation that entices the reader into reading more. The opening also briefly lays the foundation for your argument.
Endings:
Every good column or opinion piece needs a strong ending with some basic requirements. It:
• Echoes or answers introduction
• Has been foreshadowed by preceding thematic statements
• Is the last and often most memorable detail
• Contains a final epiphany or calls the reader to action
There are two basic types of endings. An “open ending” suggests rather than states a conclusion, while a “closed ending” states rather than suggests a conclusion. The closed ending in which the piece’s point is resolved is by far the most commonly used.
