What this tool does

This interactive tool helps you write a professional letter to the editor for any UK newspaper or magazine. You provide your opinion on a topic, choose your tone, and the tool creates a well-structured letter that follows proper format and conventions.

The tool ensures your letter hits the right note, whether you want to sound formal, passionate, or measured. It handles the structure and language so you can focus on getting your message across clearly.

When to use it

Use this tool when you want to respond to a news story, highlight a local issue, or share your perspective on current events. Letters to the editor are one of the most read sections of newspapers, so they are an excellent way to reach a wide audience with your viewpoint.

It is also useful if you have never written to a newspaper before and want guidance on the right approach, or if you are short on time but want to ensure your letter follows professional standards.

How it works

You answer six quick questions about your topic, opinion, preferred tone, and any supporting details you want to include. The tool then creates a letter that follows standard newspaper format, keeps to an appropriate length, and matches the tone you have chosen.

Your finished letter will be ready to copy and send directly to your chosen publication. Nothing you enter is saved by the tool, and you do not need to create an account to use it.
