PublishaLetter Blog

Here in a nutshell is everything that you need to know to write a Guest Letter (Op-Ed) in PublishaLetter.

A guest letter in PublishaLetter.com is like an Op-Ed in a traditional publication. It is typically 500 to 1,000 words long. It is posted only in this site and not forwarded to any newspaper or magazine.
We do make a significant distinction between the Letters to the Editors and the Guest Letters. We restrict the guest letters to those who have gained some authority in the topics they wish to write about. Although many writers may have interesting opinions, it is additionally important that the Guest Letter writers also have the experience and the subject matter expertise to defend and elaborate their opinions.

Submission of your Guest Letter constitutes your express consent to the terms and conditions outlined in PublishaLetter.com. You, the writer, are responsible for your writing and  must have the rights to your content  We reserve the right to reject any submission for any reason. Not all Guest Letters submitted are published Unlike Letters to the Editor your article may be edited and we will provide you with a final version for your approval before the article runs. Your submission to PublishaLettercom is non-exclusive and you will not be paid for your article.

If you believe that you could be a guest column contributor or know someone who could be, please contact us at info@publishaletter.com. Do not simply submit a guest letter through the normal Letter to the Editor submission form

This is a blog on Letters to the Editor - a companion site to PublishALetter.com. We intend to discuss various aspects of letters written by readers to newspapers and magazines. How to write an effective letter. How best to have them published. In general what to write and what not to write. We want to address the issues raised by the users of PublishaLetter.com and answer some of their questions. We hope to provide an additional platform for visitors to that site to leave their comments and suggestions. This begs the question - what is PublishALetter.com?PublishALetter.com is a site about you!

Often you have opinions on articles or editorials that you read in newspapers and magazines and want to write to the editors to express them. Perhaps you do not know where to send those letters. Maybe you know how to send them to the editors but are discouraged knowing that the majority of letters aren’t published; so you do nothing!

This is where we come in. We believe that your letters to the editors are just as important and as interesting as the articles and editorials that inspired them. We provide you the platform to pick the publication, compose the letter on-line and send it to the editor exactly as you have written it (without inserting the name of this site anywhere). We also provide you the platform to publish your letter on this site, almost immediately or after a time delay (in case you want to wait to see if it gets printed in the paper first). You want to comment on someone’s letter? You can do it here. You want to comment on someone’s comment? Why not do that too? You want to email your letter to your friends and family? We make that easy too.

So this is truly your site. With that comes some responsibility. Unlike newspapers or magazines we do not edit your submissions. With few exceptions (see our terms of service) we publish all your letters and comments here. You are responsible for the language, accuracy and originality of your submission. This is not a forum for slander, propaganda, commercial offerings, gratuitous self-promotion, mass mailings, personal correspondence or things of that nature. This is a forum for you to share your thoughtful opinion in an articulate manner with the world!
