Write for us

Coastal Sporting Life welcomes pitches about the meeting of sport, shoreline and local life. Send proposals through the Contact page; a concise, specific pitch is more useful than a finished draft sent without context.

Subjects that fit

Pitch a distinct, evergreen story about a coastal sporting venue, local game, matchday custom, seasonal rhythm or the way a shoreline shapes play and spectating. We are interested in clear explanations, thoughtful comparisons, histories grounded in verifiable material, and observation-led guides that readers can use without specialist advice.

Make the pitch concrete

Tell us the central question, the particular place or practice involved, why it matters to a general reader and how the piece would answer it. Note the kinds of sources or material you would use and flag any uncertainty, access limits or relevant relationship. Avoid broad proposals that cover every sport or coast at once.

Send a proposal

Use the Contact page and select the editorial question option. Include a working title, a short summary and a brief description of your proposed approach. Do not include confidential information or claim access you do not have. A proposal is not a promise of publication.
