Coastal Match Report welcomes considered pitches about coastal sporting places and matchday culture. We are interested in clear ideas that help a general reader understand a setting, a custom or a feature of sport beside the sea.

What makes a strong pitch

Send a short summary of the central idea, what makes it distinct and the reader question it will answer. Name the category it best fits and explain the main points you would cover. A focused proposal is easier to assess than a broad subject such as coastal sport in general.

The kind of work we welcome

We welcome accessible explainers, comparisons, histories, myth checks and occasion-specific guides grounded in everyday details. Proposals should be original, carefully scoped and useful without relying on unverified claims, professional advice or information that changes from one local authority to another.

How to send a proposal

Send pitches and writing proposals through the Contact page, choosing the editorial question option. Include any relevant background and disclose interests that could affect how readers understand the piece. Please do not send confidential material.
