Write for us

Lasting Sporting Life welcomes focused proposals about the heritage surrounding sport: its shared customs, places, objects and remembered stories. Send your proposal through the Contact page; we do not promise publication or accept work by implication.

What we welcome

We are interested in accessible, carefully framed pieces that help readers understand a sporting tradition, a place, an object or a way of preserving memory. Proposals may explain a subject, compare distinct approaches to keeping records, or trace how a sporting custom carries meaning over time.

What makes a strong pitch

Tell us the central question, the main point you want readers to take away, why the subject fits Lasting Sporting Life and how you would support factual claims. Include a short outline and note any relevant sources or limitations. A narrow, well-defined idea is more useful than a broad promise to cover the whole history of a sport.

Sending a proposal

Use the Contact page and choose the editorial option. Include your name, a way to reply and a concise pitch. Please do not send confidential information or assume that a proposal has been commissioned until we have agreed on the scope and terms.
