Write for us

We welcome thoughtful pitches about the places, seasons, customs, journeys and daily rhythms that shape athletic life across the world. A useful proposal starts with one clear subject and tells us what a reader will understand after reading it.

What suits the Journal

We are interested in specific, evergreen ideas that open a window onto sporting life beyond the contest. A pitch might examine how a setting changes the feel of a sporting day, trace the background of a custom, compare different ways of travelling to an event, or make an ordinary routine easier to understand. Keep the subject distinct and the scope manageable.

Making a strong pitch

Tell us the working title, central question, intended reader and likely shape of the piece. Explain why the subject belongs in Global Athlete Journal and what context you would include. Do not send a finished article unless we have requested one, and do not present personal experience or a broad claim as proof that a practice is universal.
