Tips for writing good letters to the editor:

  • Your letter will reach the editor faster if you send it by postal email.
  • You can find the right address on your newspaper's homepage or online editor page.
  • Research your facts.
  • Check your letter for typos, spelling, and grammar before you send.
  • Include all your contact information including address and phone number. (These will not be printed, but it is important to have a way for the editor to reach you if need be.)
  • Keep it short. Be economical with your words. Go over the letter and take anything out that is repetitive.
  • Stick to one central point.
  • Humor is good. Include a funny line if you can.
