Opinion Submission Guidelines

The Fourth Estate Opinion section is always looking for new op-ed pieces to publish in our paper! Please see the guidelines below for submission consideration.

• Submissions must be no longer than 500-600 words
• Strong submissions will be timely and have topics relevant to the student population at Mason and the local Fairfax area, but all pieces will be considered
• All submissions must be original works written by the person submitting it
• Submissions must be completed articles

A strong submission will include a brief description of you as a writer, including any background you may have that gives you more credibility to write about your subject. For example, a government major would have more credibility when writing an article about government. Editors reserve the right to edit articles and headlines at their discretion.

Email submissions to eschaib@gmu.edu for consideration.
