Tips 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 provided below are there to provide an outline of the issue and to server as a starting point to your own letter.  You letter will have more merit and will be more likely to be published if it is in your own words.
• Focus on relevent 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.
