Dear Nature Canada Members: Letters to Editors are an excellent way to encourage and promote discussion of nature topics you are passionate about. A Letter to the Editor can help create awareness about an important issue and help to influence public opinion. Publishing a Letter to the Editor is not a simple process. Most editors of publications receive up to 300- 500 letter submissions daily. You can significantly improve your chances of having your letter published by following these guidelines. Letters to the Editor Guidelines A timely letter will be more likely to be chosen for publication. It is best to respond within seven days to a particular article or news event that was published by the newspaper. Try to make the letter concrete if you are commenting on a national highlight the national significance and try to link it to a recent event or article that discusses the issue. If you are responding to a community event or issue, your local (community) newspaper is the best publication to submit your letter to. Be concise, try to keep letters to fewer than 150 words. Letters may be edited for length and clarity. Send letters by e-mail and include the contents of the letter in the body of the e-mail message as plain text only.
