Guidelines for Submission.

1. Submissions should be unpublished letters to the editor and op-eds sent to a newspaper or magazine that you believe will enhance the quality of public awareness regarding current or past events. Letters need not be recently written, but should remain pertinent to the present or of historical interest. While we primarily publish letters and op-eds, you may also submit unpublished visual art commentaries if you believe they fit the guidelines above.

2. Letters should be no longer than 650-1,000 words in length, though we occasionally publish longer pieces.

3. Submissions should be accompanied by the name(s) of the publication(s) to which they were sent, and when they were submitted.

4. Indicate the title and date of the article/editorial/feature/image/caption, etc. that you are responding to.

5. If the letter or op-ed is a general commentary, and is not responding to a particular item in the paper, indicate this. Also indicate the date when it was sent.

6. Please include your contact information including phone number, so that our editorial group may reach you to discuss any questions we may have.

7. All submissions should be sent as emails (not attachments) to this email address: editors@rejectedletterstotheeditor.com Comments and/or questions regarding RLTE may be sent to the same address.

8. If your letters are only available as hard copies, please write a clear description of your letter and send it to the email address above. If the letter is of interest, we will provide you with postal or fax submission guidelines.

9. In a new department called “Original Works” we will include a small number of original letters, op-eds, or short essays (no more than 1,500 words) that have not been rejected but which share the spirit of this publication.

Note: Your submission of your letter to RLTE—via email or “snail mail”—will constitute permission to publish your letter on the RLTE web site. If published by RLTE, your letter will appear on the RLTE site for a period of about a month. It will then be archived for ongoing availability to RLTE readers through the RLTE archive. Prior to publication you may be contacted by RLTE to provide more background information regarding the topic of your submission or regarding the article your letter references. We may also request a modification of your original letter or op-ed for clarity. All efforts will be made to reproduce your words accurately. Inaccuracies will be corrected if we receive notification from you.
