Write asks readers to address subjects on which they're the only authorities.
Topics are intentionally broad in order to give room for expression.
Writing style isn't as important as thoughtfulness and sincerity. Because of space limitations, we're unable to print all the submissions we receive. We edit pieces, often quite heavily, but contributors have the opportunity to approve or disapprove of editorial changes prior to publication. Occasionally we will choose not to publish an author's name, or will use only a first name and last initial. While we don't question the truthfulness of the writing, we must be sensitive to considerations of libel or invasion of privacy.
