Under no circumstances can the publication of a piece be guaranteed before it is reviewed by the Editorial Board. If you are considering writing an op-ed, please contact an Editorial executive to discuss the topic and content. Op-ed submissions may be edited at the discretion of the Editorial Board.

Op-Eds must be signed by their author(s). Each op-ed must bear the name of at least one individual. If the op-ed represents the viewpoints of a group, organization or corporation, the individual's affiliation will be noted at the bottom of the published piece. Multiple authors (generally three or fewer) will only be listed if each individual contributed equally to the writing of the piece. "Petition" signatures will not be published. To ensure accurate attribution, authors are encouraged to include their full name (including middle initial), class year (if a graduate or undergraduate of Harvard College), and other Harvard or relevant affiliation(s), if any. Please also include an e-mail address or evening phone number so that an editor may contact you if your op-ed is chosen for publication.

Op-ed submissions must be previously unpublished. The Crimson does not accept pieces sent "in bulk" to multiple newspapers unless it can be assured of its right to first publication.

Although we welcome op-eds that respond to issues raised by articles or editorials of The Crimson, pieces that focus primarily on specific features of previously published articles should instead be submitted as letters to the editors. The Editorial Board, at its discretion, may publish any such piece in the letters section.
