Shore Publishing encourages letters to the editor that offer a uniquely local perspective on local issues.

Writers may submit letters as often as every two weeks. Letters must include the writer’s name with address and phone number included for verification purposes. Letters must be 300 words or fewer and are published at the discretion of the editor; all submissions will be edited.

For letters endorsing a candidate, we will accept one endorsement per writer per candidate. Letters with negative content are not accepted for the two issues preceding the elections to allow for candidate rebuttal.

Letters must be received and confirmed by 5 p.m. Thursday, seven days before publication.
