trying to publish my op-ed and need help...

Post by Chow Chee Bai Superbitch » Tue Aug 11, 2009 1:37 pm

i submitted it to Anti-War and i got a rejection :(

"Thank you for your submission to Antiwar.com. Unfortunately, we can only publish a small portion of the many submissions we receive each day. We appreciate your effort, but we will not be running this piece. Thanks for understanding."

my op-ed is titled "Partitioning Land and Identities Is Not Peace-Building," it argues the need for a one state solution based on conflict resolution methods in less than 2,000 words. The thing is, anyone that's ever studied Conflict Resolution knows that a solution to Israel and Palestine has existed from the 70's and 80's, talk of two states is not a solution, and partition is never the answer, and this is what my article's about.

can anyone help me out in getting it published? if anyone has connections or wants to proof read what i got let me know.

great article.

dunno why it was rejected. perhaps they might have had an article on the site that might have been similar (?)

You can try the American Free Press, or british newspapers the Guardian or Independent, or rense.com

my comp has been dead slooooow for that past few days so i can't look for the e-mail addresses on their sites, sorry!

Rense: 50% hard hitting great info 50% ufos, bigfoot, and biggotry. I love/hate that site.

send to some local news papers first. Also you can publish it here and get it linked by some bigs sites and actually ore people will see it.

Thanks exquisite, i'm having someone proof-read it, i just assumed maybe it wasn't easy to read and should have been more Tom Friedmany.

I'd love to read it if you didn't mind posting it here. I'm also a C+ proof reader, basically just good enough for government work :(

But I'd still love to hear what you wrote on the subject :)
