Submissions Policies
Views
We accept opinion submissions from our readers. However, we receive many more than we are able to publish. Unfortunately, due to the high volume, we are unable to respond to questions on why we did not choose any submission. We are a small non-profit and cannot pay for submissions.
Submissions should:
- Offer a unique progressive perspective
- Appeal to national and international readers
- Be concise. Please keep submissions to 1000 words or less.
- Be proofread by the author.
- Be submitted with a suggested headline
- Include a one- or two-line bio, a recent photo and your email address if you'd like us to include it.
Send to submissions@commondreams.org with the word "Submission" in the subject line.
