Write for us

Genuine Sporting World welcomes thoughtful pitches about rural sport and the life around it. We are interested in clear, self-contained ideas that give readers a fresh way to understand a game, club custom, playing place, season or sporting object.

What makes a strong pitch

Tell us the central question, why it matters to a general reader and what the piece would explain. A focused proposal is more useful than a broad subject label. We welcome explainers, comparisons, histories and place-aware features that do not rely on unsupported claims or assume expert knowledge.

A considered approach

Please flag any specialist terms, local variations or material that needs careful context. Pitches should be original and specific, with a clear distinction between documented information and personal interpretation. Avoid presenting professional advice or local requirements as general guidance.

How to send a proposal

Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. Include a working title, a short outline and a few lines about your approach. A pitch is a proposal, not a promise of publication; please do not send confidential material.
