With a little practice, writing good letters to the editor is neither time consuming nor difficult. No other form of communication can match the impact of a thoughtful letter written by a concerned citizen.

Identify the editorial or article to which you want to respond or the issue you want to address.
If necessary, research the issue to understand it better and to collect information and/or evidence to use in your letter.
Use your own writing style and voice. Your letter should reflect you. Use language with which you are comfortable and write as simply and directly as possible.
Use very brief paragraphs and reasonably short sentences. You want your letter to be easy to read and understand as well as convincing and forceful. Keep your letter to around 250 words.
