Have an essay?

We invite readers of all ages to submit an original and previously unpublished personal essay of musings related to life during the current pandemic for Coronavirus Chronicles. Or if you have personal musings about a topic unrelated to the coronavirus, we’d like to hear from you for possible inclusion in our First Person column.

Submissions should run no longer than about 600 words and should include the name, age, hometown and phone number of the author, as well as a current photo. All accepted essays become the property of The Dispatch. Send essays by email: bkover@dispatch.com.
