Write for us

Urban Sports Spotlight welcomes thoughtful pitches about the games, places, objects and visual culture of city sport. A strong contribution gives readers a fresh way to notice something specific.

What makes a good pitch

Send a concise proposal that names the subject, its connection to urban sport and the central idea you want to explore. Explain what readers will understand or notice by the end. We welcome clear comparisons, cultural context and practical observations that do not depend on unsupported claims or access to confidential information.

Scope and approach

Ideas should suit a general reader and make their limits clear. We are interested in distinctive subjects, not rewrites of existing coverage. Please say whether the piece is proposed, drafted or previously published, and disclose any relevant relationship to the subject.

Where to send it

Send proposals through the Contact page and select the editorial question option. A pitch is a proposal, not a promise of publication; please do not send confidential material.
