How to submit a letter to the editor

We welcome letters to the editor of The Providence Journal. Each must carry the writer's printed name, signature, address and daytime phone number. We strongly favor letters of 250 words or fewer, typed and double-spaced. Please do not fax letters. Also, except in extraordinary circumstances, we cannot consider for publication columns exceeding 900 words.

When citing an article in The Journal, please give its headline, date and page. We reserve the right to edit submissions for space and clarity.

We regret that the large number of submissions means that we must limit the number we publish and cannot acknowledge their receipt. Writers will be contacted, however, if we have substantive questions.

Send submissions via e-mail to: Submit a letter via e-mail
