Opinion writing needs the reader to sense that a real person is behind it, and that sense is fragile and fails quickly, usually in the second sentence, and after it has gone, the rest of the piece cannot regain it.
That is why we do not research your opinion. We interview you to get the claim you would actually be willing to defend, and write it in a form and at a length that an editor will read to the end.
The comment desks reject most of what is sent to them, and the note is almost always the same: this is a topic, not a thesis. A well-written op-ed makes one claim that a reasonable person would be able to oppose, and then spends nine hundred words justifying it. Arriving at that claim means figuring out what you think, and that is conversation, not research.
Generated opinion is opinion-shaped. It has the cadence of an argument, the concessive clause in the right place, and no experience underneath any of it. Comment editors read hundreds of these a week, so most do not make it past the first paragraph, which costs you the outlet as well as the piece.
Spending twenty minutes discussing your field frustrations is usually worth more than a week spent doing desk research. What you need is based on practical experience, and experience is not written down anywhere. The interview is the research, and the interview transcript is the raw data.
Founders and subject matter experts are too busy to draft their thoughts in the evening, and comms teams place bylined commentary on behalf of their executives. If you just want to be cited in someone else’s writing rather than offer your own argument, then a media pitch is the more affordable alternative.
One rate, whatever the format: $10 per 100 words. You are paying for the writer’s time and judgement, so the price scales with the words rather than with a package tier.
| Typical opinion piece | Words | Writing | Fee (1%) | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Comment piece | 600 | $60 | $0.60 | $60.60 |
| Standard op-ed | 900 | $90 | $0.90 | $90.90 |
| Extended essay | 1,500 | $150 | $1.50 | $151.50 |

It is part of the process and it is honest when it is genuinely your opinion. We interview you, you approve the argument before we draft, and you sign it. We will not put your name to a fabricated position.
We give you the pitch paragraph to send, and the possible headlines. Working the contact list is media relations rather than writing, so if you want that part handled, start with our media pitch service.

Reviews from completed, paid orders in this category.
I expect an outline to be long and complex, and I’ll eliminate about a third of the text. I cut two full paragraphs. I appreciate a clear and concise outline. Each image/subheading has its purpose/context. I also appreciate that the FAQ provides answers to actual frequently asked questions, rather than the answers that might fit a certain keyword.
The quality I had no problems with. The timing was way off. I thought a 900 word how-to would show up in a day, and I had to use up the whole three days. My bad for not checking the delivery terms. There was one measurement that had to be fixed, and that one came back in a couple of hours.
Good job overall. The opening analogy of our product being like a filing cabinet is probably going to be viewed as condescending to a bunch of engineers. I flagged that, and I got a different replacement for that opening analogy a couple of hours later. They kept all of the other text as is.
We do not ask you to take the no-AI promise on trust. Each draft is run through these platforms and the reports are attached to your delivery email.
