1. Shorter letters tend to be accepted more than longer letters.
(200 words or less)
2. Full name, address and telephone numbers are needed so the
newspaper can verify the identity of the writer. Only name and
city are printed. You will probably be called to verify that
the letter came from you.
3. Use your own words. Make your letter personal by giving examples
or telling a story. Don't name other people in your letter. Keep
it factual and positive as possible.
4. Don't get discouraged if your letter isn't used. Space limitations
mean only a few letters are selected. Continue regular writing.
5. Do not send attachments with emails.
6. Send no more than one letter per letter submitter per month.
7. Focus on one subject per letter.
8. Please, let the letters to the editor coordinator know if
your letter was printed.
