Write for us

Eastern Sports Compass welcomes pitches that help readers notice a new dimension of sport across eastern regions. We are interested in clear, original ideas grounded in specific games, objects, places, histories or customs.

What we welcome

Propose an explanatory piece, thoughtful comparison, historical account or close reading of a sporting place, object or tradition. The best ideas have a defined subject, a clear reason to read now or return to later, and a scope that can be handled without pretending one example represents a whole region.

A useful pitch

Tell us the working title, the central question, the main point readers will take away and why the subject suits Eastern Sports Compass. Briefly note the kinds of sources or materials that could support it. Pitches should be original, specific and free of invented access, credentials or claims of firsthand experience.

How to send it

Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. Please pitch the idea rather than submitting a finished article unless that has been discussed first. A pitch is a proposal, not a promise of publication.
