Write for us

We welcome clear, original pitches about rural sporting culture: the places, objects, local games, seasonal rhythms and customs that make a useful story for a broad reader.

What makes a good pitch

Propose one specific subject and explain the central question, the intended reader and why the topic suits Vibrant Sporting World. A strong pitch has a distinct angle, a sensible scope and a clear account of what the piece can establish without relying on unsupported claims.

Contributions we welcome

We consider explanatory pieces, comparisons, cultural histories, myth-checking and carefully framed seasonal or place-based features. We do not seek promotional copy, unsupported generalisations or professional instructions that require specialist oversight.

How to send a proposal

Send your proposal through the Contact page and choose the editorial enquiry option. Include a working title, a short outline and any relevant context about your proposed approach. A pitch is a proposal, not a promise of publication.
