Write for us

We welcome pitches that help readers understand participation in sport: an original explanation, a considered comparison, a well-framed piece of sporting history or an adaptable idea for practice and team life. Fresh Champion Stories favours clear thinking over grand claims.

What makes a good pitch

Propose one specific subject and explain the reader question it will answer. Tell us the central idea, the shape of the piece and why it will remain useful beyond a passing result or trend. We are interested in fresh angles on getting started, practice, team life, sporting roots and personal milestones.

Writing that fits

Strong contributions use plain English, separate fact from opinion and offer concrete takeaways without promising guaranteed results. Avoid unsupported claims, copied material, sales copy and advice that depends on individual professional assessment or local rules. Disclose relevant interests or relationships.

How to propose a piece

Send a concise pitch through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. Include a working title, a short summary and a brief note about your approach. Please do not send a complete unpublished manuscript unless requested; a proposal is enough for an initial conversation.
