How Do I Submit a Letter to the Editor to Westford Patch?

It’s a question we get asked a lot: “How do I submit a Letter to the Editor?”

Well, there are two ways.

1. As a local voices column, also known as a blog post. Submitting a Letter to the Editor that way is easy, and....

• It will be approved immediately and instantly available through search engines like Google and through the search function here on Patch.
• We'll aim to put your letters into the "Top 4" slots ASAP. Please note though that we prefer to do this with either Westford residents, those who work in or represent Westford, or those who are talking about a Westford-specific topic. 

All you need is a free Patch e-mail account. Once you've got that and you've signed in, just click here or click on the "start a blog" button on the home page and then push the "Post on Patch" button.

2. By emailing it to westford@patch.com.

We definitely prefer the first method, but we can accept e-mailed letters if absolutely necessary. However, please note that we strongly prefer letters submitted by the first method. Any e-mailed letters will be published at a time of the editor's discretion.

Any letters provided through the local voices section will generally receive precedence regardless of the content or author.

Note #1: We do accept Letters to the Editor that have been published or submitted to other publications.

Note #2: We'll grandfather in any letter e-mailed prior to March 26 with the privileges of local voices columns.
