For Both Programs:

• Send your commentary with the word "Commentary Submission" in the subject line
• Looking for essays that tell a tale, reveal a personal reflection, or add an informed perspective to events in the news.
• Pieces that express an original idea with clear, creative writing.
• While many essays are from regularly scheduled commentators, they also want to hear from people who can comment on a once-only basis.
• Send one or two written commentaries in the body of the e-mail. Because of security and virus concerns, they are unable to open e-mails with attachments.
• Include your name, address, daytime telephone number, and e-mail address.
• NPR may edit submissions for clarity or brevity and identify authors by name and location.
