Please limit your letters to 500 or fewer words. With rare exception, we won't run a writer's work more than once every six months. There are lots of voices out there and we'd like to hear as many as possible.
• Commentary Pieces for Sunday Insight
Please limit your submission to about 700 or fewer words. Insight, a Sunday commentary section, aims to provide a forum to shake up conventional wisdom and provoke fresh thinking. Have a piece about an issue in the news that's unusual in its approach and uncommonly well-written? Mad? Outraged? Have an only-in-the-Bay-Area story? Do you know someone who is tackling a problem or meeting a challenge in a particularly innovative way? Let us know.
