Submit A Story

Seismic Sports Coverage welcomes story pitches about athletes, teams, coaches and sports communities. Anyone can submit a story. Not every submission gets published.

How we decide what to publish: Our editors choose every story we run. We publish what we find, what we see, what interests us and what we believe the world should know about. Sending a story does not guarantee it will be published, and we may not reply to every submission.

Want a guaranteed feature? We offer a paid feature placement for athletes, teams and sports organizations. Paid placements help keep this site running and support our mission of telling athletes’ stories. Choose “I’m interested in a paid feature” in the form below and we’ll follow up with the details.

Two ways to be featured

Free

Submit a story to our editors

Send us your story and our editors will review it. We only publish the stories we choose, so there’s no guarantee it will run.

Two or three high-resolution photos you have permission to share, with photographer credit where it applies.

Please read: We only publish what we choose to publish, based on what we find, what we see, what interests us and what we feel the world should know about. A free submission is not a promise of coverage.

If you want to get featured, we offer a paid feature placement. It helps keep the website running and supports our mission.

Thanks for sending your story. Our editors read submissions and reach out only if a story fits our coverage. Want a guaranteed feature? Choose the paid feature option instead.

Great. Tell us about the athlete or story below, and we’ll email you the details and pricing for a paid feature. We fact-check every paid feature to the same standards as the rest of our stories, and we can decline a request that isn’t a good fit for the site.

We’ll only use your details to follow up about your submission. Please don’t send private medical or other sensitive information unless it’s needed for the story and you have permission to share it.

Editorial coverage, paid features and the Newswire

Editorial coverage is chosen by our editors. These stories may include extra interviews, context and fact-checking. Paying for a feature does not affect which stories our editors pick for free coverage.

Paid features are guaranteed to run once we accept them. We still write and fact-check them to our editorial standards, and we can decline any request that doesn’t fit the site.

Newswire items are announcements supplied by organizations. When we accept one, it runs in the Newswire and is labeled as a press release. A Newswire placement is not an endorsement or independent reporting by Seismic.

Corrections
