Write for us

Everyday Sporting Life welcomes carefully considered pitches about the choices, habits and experiences involved in recreational sport. Proposals should offer readers a clear idea to think about or use, without making a particular level of ability or ambition the measure of success.

What to pitch

We are interested in accessible explanations, comparisons, considered essays and occasion-specific pieces about getting started, making time, practice, participation or returning. A strong idea has a defined reader and a distinct central point; it does not simply repeat familiar encouragement to be more active.

A useful proposal

Send a short outline that states the working title, the article's main idea, its intended reader and what makes the subject worth exploring. Mention any sources or specialist input the piece would need, and disclose relevant commercial interests. Do not send confidential material or make claims that depend on private information.

How to send it

Submit proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. A pitch is a proposal, not a commission; please wait for an editorial response before preparing a full draft. We cannot promise a response time or publication.
