Readers Write
Readers Write asks readers to address subjects on which they’re the only authorities.
Topics are intentionally broad in order to give room for expression. We publish only nonfiction in Readers Write.
Writing style isn’t as important as thoughtfulness and sincerity. There is no word limit, but we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the section before you submit.
Feel free to submit your writing under “Name Withheld” if it allows you to be more honest.

Privacy What have you kept to yourself — for a few days, a couple of months, your whole life? What makes you lock the door or clear your browser history? Draw the blinds and send us your submission today. (And a reminder: you can always submit under "Name Withheld.") |

Television Do you find yourself binge watching a show when you could be doing pretty much anything else with your time? Is the evening news the backdrop noise to your nightly dinner? Does your remote hold a coveted spot on your coffee table — or your nightstand? Turn off the tube and send us your submission. |

The American Dream What’s it like to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave? Are you livin’ the dream? How did you get to where you are today? Are you self-made or did it take a village? Send us your true stories about a moment of success or disillusionment. |
