One of the most effective tools to affect public opinion and ultimately public policy is the opinion page of major publications. Getting published, however, is tougher than getting admitted to an Ivy League college. Not surprisingly, there are “secret” rules and strategies that improve your odds.

He is a former marketing executive and publisher at Time and Scholastic, and the founder and CEO of Brainquest.com, Multimedicus -- created with Harvard and Dartmouth Medical Schools -- and iCollegeBound.
