We're Now Publishing Letters to the Editor!
In an effort to forward our quest to reflect to community of Manchester, The Mirror has decided to start publishing letters to the editor. If you are interested in having your letter published, please submit it via email to themanchestermirror@gmail.com.
Please keep in mind these guidelines we've set:
Letters to the editor should address a single idea and should not exceed approximately 300 words.
Publication is at the sole discretion of the editors and will be in electronic format within 30 days of receipt. Unpublished submissions can neither be acknowledged nor returned.
All submissions become the property of the Manchester Mirror and are subject to editing for length, grammar, accuracy, clarity, and civility. Some letters may appear in condensed form.
All letters must include the author's name — no pseudo- or anonymous letters will be published. Please also include an address and phone number. Only the author’s town will be included in print.
We do not publish form letters, letters written to other publications, or letters directed to individuals. No letters or opinion pieces will be published the issue immediately before an election (unless the letter is a response to a previous letter. In that case, the Mirror may, at its discretion, invite a response that will run in the issue preceding the election.)
Vitriol should remain in your drafts folder, unsent, as the Mirror will not provide a forum for free-floating aggression, but seeks instead to publish those letters that will educate or provoke thought.
To give an opportunity to the greatest number of writers, no individual's work will be published more than once every 30 days. (If you find yourself with something to say more often than that, perhaps you should contact us about writing for the Mirror.)
These guidelines and our email address are also available on our contact page.
