Stabroek News reminds writers that letters should carry a valid name and address. In the case of those which come in hard copy, we ask for a signature. Where e-mailed correspondence is concerned, we may request validation of identity. We will withhold a name on request, but we do not like to publish pseudonyms.

We will not usually carry a letter which has already appeared in another newspaper, neither will we normally publish anything which is unduly lengthy.

We routinely edit for libel, grammar, prolixity, coherence, etc.
