Step1
Pick a topic that you feel passionate about. Relate it to an issue very recently discussed in the publication to which you are writing.
Step2
Think of new ways to discuss the topic and present unique solutions to the problem.
Step3
Write clearly and concisely following the limitations usually given on the editorial page or letters-to-the-editor page.
Step4
Include your major points within the first few paragraphs.
Step5
Type your letter and double space between lines.
Step6
Use your spell check and then proofread.
Step7
Sign your name and include your phone number and address if required.
Step8
Mail, fax or e-mail your letter to the address listed for the publication.
Step9
Keep in mind that most publications verify by phone or in writing that you, and not someone attributing these opinions to you, authored the letter.

on 9/22/2008 This isn't helpful... I dont understand how such a website can even be published. Not everybody wants to write an article for the newspaper. We need stuff we can use for school. Something like what kind of sentences should we use or details... Get the point?
