We invite submissions of opinions and letters to the editor from the Wheaton College community. Current Wheaton students are eligible to contribute freelance stories, columns, photos, or illustrations and attend weekly pitch meetings and workshops.
What kind of piece do you want to submit? There are two options:
Opinions are one-time essays with a specific thesis about an issue in the Wheaton College, Chicagoland, or wider Christian community (that is relevant to Wheaton students). Ideal length is 700-800 words.
Letters to the Editor are short, one-time essays that respond to a specific article published in the Record. Ideal length is 300-500 words.
Note: Opinion and Letters to the Editor submissions are closed for the summer. They will reopen in August 2024.
The Wheaton Record is published weekly by a staff of Wheaton College student writers and editors. We typically hire for new positions in December and April, and occasionally in mid-semester. All undergraduate students, regardless of experience or grade level, are invited to apply. To stay informed about staff openings, please join our freelancer email list by clicking the button below.
