  • How to Write a Good Letter to the Editor: QLD a Guide to Writing Awesome, Powerful Letters
    How to write a good letter to the editor: QLD A Guide to writing awesome, powerful letters Letters to the editor of local papers are an excellent way for politicians to gauge what the public is thinking. This is a how-to guide for writing powerful and useful letters that can inform the public debate around Adani’s coal project. What makes a good letter? Some tips: ● The best letters are short, snappy and succinct - never longer than 200 ​ ​ words. ● Try to limit your letter to one central idea so it is clear and easy to read. Don’t ​ ​ be afraid to use humour if it suits! ● Good letters are timely if they are in response to a big announcement or ​ ​ event. This means written and sent on the same day. ● Back-up your claims with facts where appropriate. There are many ​ resources on our website (see below for links). ● Try to weave in a personal story if you can and it is fitting. For example: ​ ​ ○ I’m a tourist operator on the Reef and Adani’s coal mine will put my business in jeopardy. ○ I am a teacher and see school students are very attuned to the impact of climate change on the Reef and Adani’s role in this. ○ I went to visit the Reef last year and am saddened by the fact the QLD Government is ignoring coral bleaching events in favour of more coal mining. ○ I’m a Townsville resident who has experienced the mining industry’s boom-bust cycles and I think the future of Townsville should be solar.
