Op-Eds (literally, opposite the editorial page) represent the views of individual columnists or writers. Unlike the editorial page, this page is designed to present a broad array of views from Globe staff columnists and members of Greater Boston. The Globe's five columnists are not members of the editorial board and function independently. Marjorie Pritchard is editor of this page and receives hundreds of unsolicited manuscripts a week.
The Boston Globe welcomes unsolicited op-ed offerings. Please keep the piece to 700 words and send by e-mail to oped@globe.com, by fax to 617-929-2098, or by mail to:
