Write for us

We welcome thoughtful pitches about recreational sport and play: how people join in, adapt games, share equipment or make use of the spaces they have. A useful contribution gives readers a clear idea they can consider without requiring specialist knowledge.

What makes a strong pitch

Send a focused proposal with a working title, the central question or idea, the reader it serves and a brief outline of the main points. Explain what is distinct about your approach and how it will avoid repeating familiar general advice.

A clear, grounded approach

We value precise language, useful examples and a fair account of trade-offs. Pitches should avoid unsupported claims, promotional copy and advice that requires professional judgement or depends on local rules. Disclose relevant commercial interests when you pitch.

How to send a proposal

Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. A proposal is not a guarantee of publication; please send a concise outline rather than a complete unsolicited article.
