This means that your writing should be clear, informal and to the point. Give your story a logical flow, and use subheads to break up sections of your story and provide entry points for the reader onto the page. Write about issues important to our readers. Columns that Response publishes should address big-picture issues or new issues. Guest opinions should be approximately 650 words in length, including a bio.
Response reserves the right to edit columns for length, style and content.
If we publish your column, we will need a photo of you to accompany it. This photo may be in any format, from print to transparency, but it should be in color. Guest opinions are due by the 14th of each month two months prior to the publication date. For example, a column appearing in December would be due Oct. 14. Do not use WordPerfect.
