Thank you for sending your letter or My Turn commentary to The Providence Journal. We have received it.

Below are our guidelines. Please check to make sure your submission complies with them.

Pieces for the My Turn feature should be no more than 600 words, including a short bio of the writer. If it's best run on a particular day -- for instance, a piece about a specific holiday -- send it a couple of weeks before desired publication. We are often working well ahead.

 

Letters to the editor should be no more than 250 words; we prefer 150 or fewer. Include your full name (not an alias), full address and phone number. 

 

For both My Turns and letters, copy the text into the body of the email; don't attach a file of any kind. 

 

And please know that we get far more submissions for both letters and My Turn than we can publish. Because of the volume, we can't respond to each individually. If we don't publish yours, it's simply because there are others that seem more urgent.
