Write for us

Fresh Sporting Life welcomes thoughtful proposals about the rules, spaces, equipment and traditions that shape sport. A strong pitch starts with a clear question and explains why the answer matters to a curious reader.

Ideas that fit

We are interested in focused explanations, comparisons, histories and observations that help readers notice a specific part of sporting life. A pitch might centre on how a feature works, why an object took its familiar form, or what a custom adds to an occasion. We do not seek match reports or broad claims without a clear subject.

What to send

Tell us the proposed subject, the main idea, the intended reader and what makes the piece distinct from familiar coverage. Mention any sources or relevant experience that inform the proposal, but do not send confidential material. A short, specific outline is more helpful than a complete unsolicited draft.

How to propose a piece

Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial option. Please include a working title and a brief account of the article's central question. A proposal is not a commission, and we cannot promise a response time.
