How Do I Submit a Letter to the Editor to Tiverton-Little Compton Patch?

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

With the Sakonnet River Bridge toll, the pending 2013-14 town and school budgets, the question of how to develop Tiverton's Industrial park and a whole host of issues before the state general assembly, there is plenty for Tiverton-Little Compton locals to weigh in on.

(Don’t get us wrong, Letters to the Editor don’t have to be political. Sometimes the small issues or ideas resonate the most.)

There are two ways to submit a Letter to the Editor to Tiverton-Little Compton Patch:

1. As a blog. Submitting a Letter to the Editor as a blog post is easy (really as simple as writing an email) and immediate (as soon as you hit “Approve,” it’ll be live on the site). If you plan on submitting multiple letters over time, submitting them as blog posts will also allow you to establish a voice or presence on the site. However, still feel free to submit as a blog even if you only plan on writing one.

2. By emailing it to Tiverton-Little Compton Patch Editor Erin Tiernan at erin.tiernan@patch.com. If you chose this route, be sure to include your name and the name of the street you live on, and please specify that your email is intended as a Letter to the Editor in the subject line. We try and publish emailed Letter to the Editors within 48 hours (during the week) but there is no guarantee.

We would love to have a robust Letters to the Editor section on the site, and we know Tiverton-Little Compton locals are an opinionated bunch, so choose a topic and get writing!

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