I Just Want to Say...
We all have opinions. But there are opinions and opinions. There is a doctor's opinion or professional judgement on an illness, based on professional protocol, experience, and research. And there is the "I prefer coffee to tea" opinion that need not be rationalized or supported.
An opinion piece of writing is somewhere in between. It gives your opinion on a particular cultural or political phenomenon or event, etc., but that opinion must be supported with facts, research, and/or experience. The topic can be something as simple as "How to Say 'No' with Grace" to the more complicated "The Con is a Fine Art."
Almost any length is acceptable; 1500-2000 words is optimal.
