How to Submit To Publications
Nowadays, letters or op-eds should almost always be submitted by email. If you happen to know the opinion editor at a certain newspaper, or a friend who knows that editor, that rarely hurts; send it directly to him or her.
Include a brief bio, along with your phone number, email address, and mailing address at the bottom. For an op-ed, use a succinct cover letter to establish why you are qualified to write this piece. Explain (very briefly!) why the issue is important and why readers would care.
