SPREADING THE WORD:
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Tips For Writing a Letter to the Editor
-
Keep it short: most newspapers prefer letters that are between 100-200 words.
-
Make it personal: aim to put things in your own words and draw from your own experiences.
-
Be accurate: make sure you’ve got your facts straight.
-
Try to be unique. People are tired of stale political talking points.
-
Make sure to proofread: the last thing you want are grammatical or spelling mistakes.
