Not allowed:
Swearing, hatred, racism, being an ass, sounding to pompous without realizing it, using zenith in an article without being cynical...anything else we don't like.
What can we say. We are sensitive. more »
NO! We do not accept all letters.
Some civility has to be kept on the site. We also do not allow letters of hatred, racism, complete ignorance, letters in foreign languages (aka English only), or letters that we do not want to publish. It's our turn… more »

Welcome to findawish.com: Letters to the Editor beta site
It has long been known that newspapers suck. Let's face it...you have some know it all who tells you what they want you to hear, in a limited space, in order to sell newspaper ads.
How many times have you wanted to reach through an article and let the author have a piece of your mind? All fired up, you write a great letter and let them have it, only to find that they won't accept it.
Let them have it; we have provided a space for the world to see. Our online articles draw a respectable amount [number] of hits per day. We'll do our best with this beta site to get your message into the public's eye and (if nothing else) you'll get some therapy from writing a good letter and knowing someone is listening.
Every, and we do mean EVERY, editor we have ever spoken with has told us that they do not believe controversy sells newspapers. They [who are they saying this] say it's a myth.
They are lying.
We see it in our own articles. Of course we write more articles of disagreement because of readership. We truly disagree and are passionate about it.
Agree or disagree, defend a friend, family member, stranger or yourself; we want your articles. Let us have it.
It's this simple:
1. Write a letter to any editor.
2. Get rejected by the newspaper (we'll accept your letter even if it was published).
3. Get ticked off.
4. Modify your letter (if needed)
5. Post it with us and get your article accepted. (the easy part)
6. Read your letter online and listen to others speak out against it.
