All published letters – which should be 350 words or less – will include the writer's name and town/city of residence (please give us your phone number in case we have any questions; phone numbers will not be printed). Letters exceeding 350 words will be considered and placed only if space is available (also see information about Public Forum, below).

Public Forum
If you have significant knowledge about an issue facing Lamorinda or one of its cities that requires more than the 350 words to which we must limit Letters to the Editor, don’t despair! You can submit your letter to our Public Forum section – just email your letter to letters@lamorindaweekly.com and let us know you’d like to be considered for the Public Forum. The deadline for Forum is one week prior to the issue date.

Event Calendar
For local events to be listed in our Not to be Missed section, email approximately 75 words summarizing the important details of the event to calendar@lamorindaweekly.com. You may also send a photo (200 x 300 pixels okay; 150 dpi), which will be included if space allows. We can normally run your item for two issues in advance of the event. The Lamorinda Weekly is published every other Wednesday and submissions to calendar are due not later than the preceding Friday. It is best to submit your item at least three weeks prior to the event date (six weeks prior is preferred). To be considered for the free listing, the event should be within, or taking place very near, Lamorinda. This section is for the Arts and free or very low cost events which are open to all to attend. We also include club listings from time to time as long as the club is open to new members. You will receive an automated reply confirming receipt of your email. See the last calendar here |
