There’s an art to
getting into print so make sure you follow our five-point plan
below:
- Keep your letter short and simple. Make
one strong point and say it in 150 words or less. The most widely
read letters are one sentence long!
- Get straight to the point.
- Facts can be useful to make your point
but don’t pack in too many.
- Make sure your letter is either typed or
written clearly and give your age.
- Enclose a photo or drawing to illustrate
your point. For example, you may be asthmatic and want to see less
traffic in your area; ask a friend to snap you with your inhaler
alongside a busy road.
TOP TIP
If you don’t spot your letter in print, don’t waste
time worrying. Just write again!
This idea was taken from a Friends of the Earth
book called 'Causing A Stink - The Eco Warrior's Handbook'
by Caroline Clayton, published by Bloomsbury Publishing
Plc.
