Made By Sport is where sports meet storytelling — and the people behind it are always glad to hear from readers, researchers, writers, and organisations who share that passion. Whether you are pitching a feature, proposing a collaboration, flagging a technical issue, or simply have a question, the right contact is just below. We read every message and do our best to respond promptly and personally.
Pitches, Features & Expert Contributions
The science of sport is vast, and no editorial team can cover it alone. We actively seek contributions from researchers, practitioners, writers, and anyone who has something evidence-based and genuinely interesting to say about physical activity, performance, or sport’s role in society.
We are particularly keen to receive:
- Plain-language breakdowns of newly published sports science studies
- Expert commentary on emerging trends in exercise medicine, biomechanics, or sports psychology
- Data-led investigations into grassroots sport, participation, or public health
- Cross-disciplinary perspectives — for example, from nutritionists, neuroscientists, or sociologists working in sport-adjacent fields
A note on scope: We are a science communication platform. We do not publish original primary research or function as an academic journal.
- Email: [email protected]
- Editorial Lead: Dr. Sarah Okafor
- What to include: A working title, a 150-word outline, your relevant background, and at least two supporting sources
- Turnaround: Our editorial team reviews all pitches and aims to respond within four to six working days
Research Collaborations & Institutional Partnerships
We partner with universities, public health bodies, sports charities, and independent research groups on projects that bring rigorous science to wider audiences. If your organisation is producing work that deserves more public attention — or if you are looking for a trusted editorial partner for an outreach initiative — we would be glad to talk.
- Email: [email protected]
- Types of project we take on:
- Editorial series built around a research theme (for example, sport and adolescent mental health, or injury prevention in community sport)
- Accessible summaries of major trial outcomes or policy-relevant findings for non-specialist audiences
- Joint content campaigns connecting scientific evidence to grassroots sport initiatives
- Response time: Partnership proposals are reviewed by our Collaborations Editor, with an initial response typically within seven to ten working days
Commercial Partnerships & Sponsorship
We work with a small number of carefully selected commercial partners whose values align with evidence-based, independent communication. Sponsorship helps us keep our content freely available to all readers while maintaining full editorial independence.
- Email: [email protected] | [email protected]
- Available opportunities:
- Sponsorship of dedicated topic areas (for example, a hub on technology in elite sport or the science of youth development)
- Branded explainers and interviews, produced to our editorial standards and clearly identified as sponsored content
- Contextually placed site advertising that meets our ethical guidelines
- Our position: We do not accept partnerships from organisations whose interests conflict with objective reporting. All commercial content is clearly labelled, always.
Technical Issues & Site Feedback
If something on the site is not working as it should — broken links, loading problems, display errors, or anything else affecting your experience — our support team wants to know about it.
- Email: [email protected]
- To help us fix things faster, please include: the device and browser you are using, the URL of the page affected, and a brief description of the problem (a screenshot is always helpful)
- Response target: Most technical reports are picked up and responded to within two working days
