We will contact you.   The Basics Of Submitting Material For Publication Make sure your material is directly related to the neighborhood.

Letters, photos and other longer pieces are due by Friday 4 p.m. the week before publication. Events listings information: absolute final deadline Tuesday noon. Click here for our publishing calendar. Put a contact name and telephone number on your material. If your material is an event listing, include a "more info" phone number for the listing.     It is not necessary to call before or after submitting unless you have a question that is not answered here.     Letters to the editor should be limited to 500 or fewer words. The writer's name and a daytime telephone contact number must be included. The Gazette does not publish letters to the editor from a writer that is not identified or cannot be found for verification.
