Write for us

We welcome considered pitches from people who can explain a useful part of local sport in clear, reader-first language. Send proposals through the Contact page and select the editorial question option.

Ideas we are looking for

Pitch evergreen pieces about getting started, practice, club life, matchday routines or planning a season. Strong ideas answer a specific reader question and offer insight that can be used across clubs or communities, without relying on a single result or fleeting news moment.

A useful pitch

Tell us the proposed subject, who it would help, the central point you want readers to take away and why it suits Local Athlete Journal. A short outline is helpful. Please mention any relevant experience or interests, but do not claim credentials you do not hold.

Our approach

We value original work, careful explanations and a respectful view of the different ways people participate. We do not consider pieces built around unsupported performance claims, unsafe instructions or promotional copy disguised as editorial. Sending a pitch does not guarantee publication.
