At the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM), we’re committed to amplifying the voices that advocate for Texas independence and state sovereignty. We welcome your thoughtful, well-researched op-eds that align with our mission of promoting TEXIT and resisting federal overreach. Here’s how you can contribute to the conversation and share your perspective with our readers.

Submission Guidelines

1. Topic Focus
   • All op-eds must center on topics related to Texas independence, state sovereignty, the overreach of the Federal government, or other issues directly impacting Texas self-governance.
   • We are particularly interested in fresh perspectives on current Texas events, global independence movements, economic arguments for independence, and cultural reflections tied to Texas identity.
2. Original Content
   • Your submission must be original and exclusive to TNM News. We do not accept previously published op-eds or pieces that are under consideration elsewhere.
3. Word Count
   • Submissions should be between 600 and 1,000 words.
4. Tone and Style
   • Your writing should reflect a confident, assertive tone in favor of Texas independence. TNM News emphasizes forward-thinking, solution-oriented arguments without contrasting opposing viewpoints. Avoid passive constructions, and favor action-driven language that underscores the strength and inevitability of TEXIT.
   • Ensure that your op-ed is conversational and accessible while maintaining the depth necessary for a well-informed audience. Political or legal terminology should be used appropriately to add credibility where needed.
   • Incorporate Texas-specific idioms or references sparingly to root your argument in Texan culture without overuse.
5. Formatting
   • Use clear, concise paragraphs and subheadings where necessary to break up longer sections of text. Submissions should be free of formatting such as bullet points, lists, or hyperlinks.
6. Citations
   • When citing statistics, legal cases, or historical references, include a brief in-text mention of your source. Ensure all references are from reputable sources, such as government reports, think tanks, or academic institutions.
7. Author Bio
   • Include a short bio (50-100 words) with your submission. This should include your name, relevant background information, and any affiliations with Texas-based movements or organizations, if applicable.
8. Review Process
   • TNM News reserves the right to edit submissions for clarity, grammar, and adherence to our guidelines. Our editorial team will review your submission and contact you with any revisions or approval within two weeks.
9. How to Submit
   • Send your op-ed as a Word or Google document attachment to [email protected]. Include “Op-Ed Submission” in the subject line.
   • Please also attach a high-quality headshot for use if your op-ed is published.

We look forward to reading your submissions and sharing your voice with our community of Texans committed to independence. Let’s work together to chart the path forward for Texas as a sovereign nation.
