How Do I Submit a Letter to the Editor to Foxborough Patch?

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

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

And with a host of candidates on the April ballot, brown water problem in town, business development opportunities along Route 1, the future of Town Hall and plenty of more local issues to address, we thought there was no better time to answer.

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

There are two ways to submit a Letter to the Editor to Foxborough Patch:

1. As a blog post. Submitting a Letter to the Editor as a blog post is easy (really as simple as writing an e-mail) 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 e-mailing it to Foxborough Patch Editor Jeremie Smith at jeremie.smith@patch.com. If you choose this route, be sure to include your name and the name of the street you live on, and please specify that your e-mail is intended as a Letter to the Editor in the subject line. We try and publish e-mailed Letter to the Editors within 48 hours (during the week) of receiving them and will send you the link of the letter once it is live on the site.

We would love to have a robust Letters to the Editor section on the site, and we know Walpole residents are a passionate and opinionated bunch when it comes to their town, so choose a topic and let your voice be heard!
