To submit your own Open Letter to be considered for publication on the site, email 300-1500 words to: maryvolmer@gmail.com. The letters can be on any topic. Feel free to use humor. Intelligent rants are welcome, too. I only ask that you write to someone you care for (feel free to change their names), and that you write with honesty and empathy. In the subject line, please write: THE OPEN LETTERS-Submission.
Click Here to read two of Baldwin's letters: “Open Letter to My Sister Angela Davis” and “Open Letter to my Nephew.” Also see Ta-Nehisi Coates' book, Between the World and Me and Claudia Rankine's call for open letters in The Rumpus.
Thank you!
Mary Volmer
