Front Porch runs every week. Essays should be 500 words maximum. This is the place for reflections on life, politics, recent local events and other topics of community interest. Humor is always appreciated. Sad is occasionally OK. Musings on your own life without a larger point—or essays with a majority of sentences that open with the personal pronoun—not so much.

Submissions are not necessarily acknowledged or returned. Please note that we do not pay for reader-submitted Front Porch essays. E-mail submissions to editors@indyweek.com. Include your name, phone number and mailing address for verification, and put "Front Porch" in the subject line.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (BACK TALK)
Got something to say about an Independent article? Send no more than 300 words to backtalk@indyweek.com. Include your name and town for publication and your phone number for verification, and put "Back Talk" in the subject line. We reserve the right to edit letters for length, style and clarity. Please note that we do not publish general letters to the editor; Back Talk is strictly limited to feedback about Independent articles. The deadline is Monday at 9 a.m. for that Wednesday's issue.
