Tips for writing your letter
|
● Short letters are more likely to get published. Under 250 words is good. ● Get guidelines and address from your newspapers website or newspaper. ● Write your letter on a computer if possible and print on white paper or on letterhead. If you must do a hand written letter, make sure it is legible. ● Proofread your letter, and get someone else to read it if you have time. Correct typos, etc. ● Stick to one or two key points. ● Personalize your letter. Talk about what you love and want to conserve in the Hill Country. ● As a group, we can be more effective if we are stick with the same messages. Talking points are provided on this page.
