East Greenwich News welcomes opinion pieces (formerly known as op/eds) and letters to the editor Here are some guidelines to consider when writing:

• Opinion submissions should be kept under 1,000 words; letters to the editor should be 500 words or less.
• Submission is not a guarantee of publication.
• EG News reserves the right to edit submissions for readability, length and accuracy.
• If major editing is required, we will work with the author to try to arrive at mutually agreed upon changes.
• Refrain from personal attacks; they will be edited out. 
• Citations to studies or research papers are not allowed; writers may include a mention or link to an organization where readers could find such studies or papers. 
• Include a two-sentence-max bio.
• EG News will contact you upon receipt of your column or letter within one day to confirm receipt and will contact you a second time within one week to confirm publication status. If you have not heard back from us within these timeframes, please contact us. 
• Send your article to editor@eastgreenwichnews, and put Opinion in the subject line along with the topic.
