Skip to the court

The character of tennis beyond the baseline.

Rural Tennis Review

Write for us

We welcome thoughtful proposals about rural tennis, village courts and the life around local play. A strong pitch has a clear subject, a useful angle and a reason it will interest readers beyond a single match.

What to propose

Ideas might explore how a court fits its surroundings, a tennis custom worth explaining, the changing use of a club space or an overlooked object connected with local play. We look for distinct subjects that suit our focus rather than broad claims about tennis in general.

What makes a good pitch

Briefly describe the proposed piece, its central question and what a reader will take away. Tell us whether it is an explainer, comparison, history, myth-check or occasion-based guide. Keep claims proportionate, identify uncertainties and avoid relying on unverified statistics or access you cannot confirm.

How to send it

Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. Please include a short outline and any relevant writing sample details in your message; do not send confidential material or assume that a pitch has been accepted until you hear back.
