NARAL Pro-Choice South Dakota

Tips for Writing a Letter to the Editor

– DO be focused The best letters state your point simply and
briefly Newspapers often have a word limit for submissions Know the
word limit for each paper, but also be sure to be to the point Try to
keep your letters to a maximum of 150-200 words

– DONT send the exact same letter to multiple newspapers Most papers
will insist that any letters they publish are exclusive to them, but
you can use the same concepts and vary the letter slightly

– DO make your letter as relevant and timely to the editorial board
and the public as possible Whenever possible, refer to a recent
letter or article in that paper, mention a particular bill being
considered in the legislature or a political appointment or nomination
related to the issue, tie your letter to a recent or upcoming event
related to the issue, etc

– DONT forget to include your address and phone number Newspapers
wont publish this information, but most publications will want to
call to confirm that you wrote the letter before they publish it
