General Feedback

We love to hear from our readers, but we rarely answer hate mail unless it’s clever, so send your clever hate mail, your gift certificates and money orders, dye packs, show tickets, and vintage champagnes. All will be accepted with thanks.

Email, however, sometimes goes unanswered. We receive lots of it, we read every message, but we do not have time to answer everyone. Please accept our apologies if you do not hear from us. Our receptionist is on leave.

For all general feedback, press inquiries, technical issues, shout-outs, hoot-n-hollers, inquiries that are just difficult to explain, and so on and so forth, email us here—we’ll be happy to hear from you:

Letters for Publication

If you want to send in a letter for us to consider publishing on our Reader Mail page, you can! Please, however, note the following: Letters must be exclusive to The Morning News, and may be edited for length. Authors will not be contacted if their letter is published. All letters must be signed. No attachments, please:

Article Submissions

All submissions to The Morning News must be previously unpublished. When people ask us what we’re looking for, our advice is to read through the last couple weeks of TMN. What we’re not interested in are personal rants, short fiction, shopping guides, poetry, academic papers, personal diaries, travel journals, or anything you’ve published on your blog. Regular columns such as the Non-Expert’s Desk are reserved for staff members.

TMN only reads pitches from writers it has accepted work from previously. Writers new to TMN should submit a draft of their article by pasting it into an email (no attachments), and also include any links to other work. All submissions or pitches should be accompanied by the writer’s complete contact information. Simultaneous submissions are OK as long as we’re notified immediately if the story is accepted elsewhere.

Should we wish to publish your piece, you must know and acknowledge the following:

• Each story we publish goes through multiple rounds of editing and fact-checking. Writers are expected to work with the editors on revisions, for as many rounds as the editors see fit.
• The Morning News assumes no legal liability whatsoever for the works of its contributors. Writers are wholly responsible for all statements in their works, including any opinions, facts, errors, or bad jokes. The Morning News does not support or endorse any statements expressed by its contributors.
• All works submitted to The Morning News must be the sole, original property of the contributor(s), and cannot interfere with any other publication or company’s publishing rights.
• The rights to all works published at The Morning News are owned, everlasting, by the creator of the work. The Morning News makes the claim to preserve a copy of the work in its archives for online publishing, including any future digital versions. Should the author wish to republish the work elsewhere, we require that works originally published at The Morning News are noted as such in their reprinted format.
