Readers and Writers:

Starting with our latest issue, which just went up, we have  
introduced a new feature.  In addition to publishing letters, op-eds,  
and artistic commentaries that have been rejected by mainstream  
publications, Rejected Letters to the Editor, will now include a  
small number of original works, written specifically for publication  
on RLTE's site. This issue, we have a piece by Sara Rich, the mother  
of Suzanne Swift, a soldier in Iraq who was molested by her  
commanding officer and after a leave, when ordered to return to war,  
refused to go.  Rich is now an activist in the women's anti-war  
movement, and her short essay addresses the criminal leadership that  
has sent soldiers like her daughter into a war predicated on  
calculated lies, and wreaked havoc on innocents. A very strong  
statement.

For future issues, we invite readers to submit original short  
writings to Rejected Letters to the Editor. If published, they will  
be included in a new section, “Original Works.” Authors of these  
pieces should try to keep their word count under 1,500 and aim to  
transmit clarity of thought, unacknowledged knowledge, and vital ways  
of seeing. Op-art or visual commentaries are also welcome.

Send in submissions and encourage others to do so as well. More and  
more readers are embracing RLTE and your writings will reach a broad  
and diverse national and international audience.

Best,

Stuart Ewen, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief
