Writing tips:

1.) Be concise. Your letter must be 200 words or less. Short letters are more likely to be published.

2.) Write in your own words. If you simply copy and paste the facts listed below, editors are much less likely to print your letter.

3.) Target your letters to local or regional papers.

4.) Be polite. Your point comes through more clearly, and you’re more likely to get a letter printed that is respectful of the newspaper and the community.

5.) If you mail in your letter: Typed letters are preferred by the newspapers. Each should include a signature, address and daytime phone number. The newspaper staff will call and verify that you are the author.

6.) If you email your letter: A signature is not required, but you must include your real name, address (street address, not e-mail address) and daytime telephone number. The newspaper staff will call and verify that you are the author.
