Write for us

Coastal Match Preview welcomes considered pitches about the settings, venues and matchday experience of seaside sport. Send proposals through the Contact page, with a clear subject and a short explanation of what the reader will take away.

What we welcome

Pitch original explanations, comparisons, historical context or practical planning pieces that help readers understand how coastal places shape sport and spectatorship. A strong idea has a defined angle, fits one of our sections and offers something more specific than a broad introduction to seaside sport.

Make the idea easy to assess

Tell us the proposed working title, central point, intended reader and why the subject suits Coastal Match Preview. Explain the scope and any details that would need verification. Keep the proposal focused; a concise pitch is more useful than a full draft sent without context.

Care with claims

We favour contributions that separate observation from fact, avoid invented access or expertise, and do not rely on unverified venue arrangements. Do not send confidential information or material you do not have permission to share. A proposal is not a promise of publication.
