Have an opinion? Write about it!

By Northern Express Staff & Contributors | April 23, 2022

Northern Express is seeking one or two new guest opinion writers for 2022 and beyond. Our opinion columnists are passionate, experienced writers who are connected to our communities and also have an understanding about how northern Michigan’s issues fit into larger national and global conversations. We’re looking for an array of backgrounds, perspectives, and politics to make sure our columns reflect the people and conversations in our community. (We’d love to find someone who lives outside the Grand Traverse region, as we have that beat well covered!) Keep in mind, these columns aren’t about you or your work, but about broader issues and questions affecting our area. If you think you have the writing chops and the time to write 4-5 columns per year, send an email to info [at] northernexpress [dot] com with your name, town, writing credentials, and a brief writing sample or relevant links to show us your work. We look forward to your opinion!
