   Tips for writers Minimize  

1. Be brief. Short letters are best. Just because they have a 250-word limit doesn't mean you need 250 words to make your point. Short letters are more effective - and more likely to get read. All letters are subject to editing for length and clarity.

3. Address your comments to the newspaper and its readers - not to a third party. They won't run copies of letters sent to other people.

4. Be civil. Sarcasm can be effective, but don't overdo it. You can criticize, but avoid highly personal attacks.

5. Keep trying.  They receive far more letters than they have room to publish. If your letter isn't published, try again.

6. Use your own name or two initials and your last name. Include contact information.  They will not be published but they may need to talk to you about your letter. No anonymous letters or "pen names" can be used.
