How to send a letter to the editor

Letters to the editor represent the views of readers. The letters feature a broad range of opinions and are selected from a large volume by the letters editor. The best way to increase the chance of having your letter chosen is to make it timely, original, and short. Most of the letters chosen for publication are those that have been written in response to articles or opinion pieces in the Globe rather than to general issues of the day. The Globe reserves the right to edit letters for space, clarity, or content.

Letters should be sent exclusively to the Globe and must include the sender’s name, address, and phone number for verification. Send your letters (200 words or less) to letter@globe.com.
