The Good Men Project is a participatory media company. As such, we have multiple ways you can actively participate in the conversation. As you become a deeper part of “The Conversation No One Else is Having,” you will learn all of the ways we support our Writer’s Community: community FB groups, weekly conference calls, classes in writing, editing, platform building, and more.  If you’d like to be a contributing author but aren’t sure what to write about, this post is for you.
