Guidelines

Submission of a letter indicates the author's permission for publication in Telegraph Herald print and/or Internet products as well as posting to fee-based archival services.

Letters must be 250 words or less. All letters, including those within the length limit, are subject to abridgment and editing.

A letter must include the author's street address (no post office box numbers) as well as daytime and evening telephone numbers. Addresses are published; phone numbers are not. When authors write an an official capacity - representing governmental bodies, organizations or businesses - the institution's address is printed.

In general, these letters are not accepted: "Thank-you" messages, letters that are not exclusive to the TH, letters copied from Web sites or other sources, letters of a commercial nature, most poetry, personal attacks, "open" letters directed to other parties, extensive biblical citations and petitions.

Letters may bear no more than two signatures.

Because of the volume of submissions, the TH does not acknowledge letters not selected for publication.

All submissions, published or unpublished, remain the property of the Telegraph Herald and are not returned.
