Tip For Writing A Letter
- Be sure to provide all your contact information in the spaces provided. Some editors may have questions about your letter and need to contact you and many papers will not publish a letter without the name, address, and phone number of the author.
- Be sure to choose a topic that matters to you. Passion is important. The talking points provide an outline of the issue and serve as a starting point to your own letter. Your letter will have more merit and is more likely to be published if it is in your own words.
- Focus on relevant issues in the news, particularly those that were recently published in the paper you are writing. If possible cite a specific article. The more recent your topic made news, the more likely you are to be published.
- Finally, keep your letter around 250 words. Wordy dissertations and letters longer than 250 words are never published. A letter to the editor should be brief and to the point.
