Hi there!

Our Private Editorial Coaches are working journalists, columnists or editors, with extensive commentary experience and a track record of high-impact publication in respected and vetted outlets; a gift for coaching and mentoring; and a deep commitment to The OpEd Project’s mission of inclusive leadership. Private Editorial Coaches must have an existing relationship with The OpEd Project (for example, as an OpEd Project Fellowship Coach, Mentor-Editor or advisor) and a history of uplifting voices in our community. They are matched with individual clients to provide additional support beyond what The OpEd Project offers in our workshops, fellowships and volunteer mentoring. The support may include brainstorming ideas, coaching around themes, copy editing, or pitching advice. Private Coaches are never expected to pitch pieces on behalf of clients.

Clients can purchase packages of 10 or 25 hours to be used over three months, or 50 hours to be used in six months. The OpEd Project typically splits the revenue with Private Coaches in order to break even (we do not seek to make any profit on this program but rather to serve a community need). Compensation for Private Coaches starts at $85/hour and up to $100/hour if a client requests to work with a specific Coach. We offer coaching packages based on demand and Private Coaches may accept or decline any package as they wish.
