Write for us
Western Sports Compass welcomes clear, original pitches about community sport: how people join in, how clubs and shared spaces work, and how sporting customs develop. Send proposals through the Contact page.
What makes a strong pitch
Tell us the specific question your piece will answer, who it will help and what readers will understand or be able to consider afterward. A strong proposal has a distinct angle, a clear plan for explaining it and a reason the subject suits Western Sports Compass. We welcome accessible explainers, comparisons, thoughtful histories and practical planning pieces.
Keep the scope grounded
We favour useful evergreen subjects that can be handled responsibly without invented experience or unsupported claims. Explain the limits of your argument, distinguish opinion from fact and identify the kinds of sources that would support factual details. Do not send confidential information or material you do not have permission to share.
How to propose it
Use the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. Include a working title, a short summary, the intended reader and any relevant writing samples or links you are permitted to share. A proposal is not a commission, and we may ask for a narrower focus before considering a piece.
Sport grows when more people can take part
A welcoming sporting culture is built in ordinary places: a clear invitation, shared equipment and room to learn at your own pace.
