It is advisable that letter writers utilize their computer’s Word Count tool. A phone number, legal name and home address MUST be included for verification.

All letters intended for publication should be received by the letters editor no later than 14-days from publication of addressed content. In the case of wanting to submit a letter after the deadline

 

for submission has passed, it is possible to do so by submitting your letter through our feedback page. There is no guarantee of publication for a late submission, but your feedback will be read by our staff.

Letters can be written directly into an e-mail text box or uploaded as an attachment; the latter being preferred. In your e-mail’s subject line, please note the title of the article or topic you are addressing; and include the volume and number of issue in which it appeared.

 

Upon selection of a letter for publication, a staff member will contact the sender’s provided phone number. The sender should have an unblocked phone for receiving calls from non-caller ID systems.

Letters should not be submitted if the writer is under the age of 13.

Aditionally, all underage letter writers above the age of 13 should get prior approval from their parents or legal guardian before submitting personally identifiable information such as name, phone number and address.
