Essay: “Life In Between The Whistles”
Publication: Sports Literature (http://www.sportliterate.org/)
Subject Matter: Mostly about sports and how they affected the authors life. Could be about what it was like participating in the sport or going to stadiums or the food surrounding sports.
Voice: Personal Narrative, Reflective (emphasize to potential submissions, they want very reflective work)
Form and Artistry: Combination of segmented essays, Dialogue, Personal Narrative, Personal Writing.
Length: There isn’t a mandated word length. From reading some of the essays I saw that they easily extend past 2000 words. It seems that the site doesn’t want to put a limit on a creative nonfiction essay because they wouldn’t want to hinder anyone’s essay.
Audience: Anyone could subscribe to the magazine, but for the most part it’s a more of a sport type of journal. All the essays are based upon sports and the authors are reflecting on how these sports played in their life. You can tell this just by some of the titles you see on the website for example. “Heel of a Glove” , “Ballparks” , “Memories of Peanuts and Beers”.
Purpose: “Sport Literate is a literary journal focusing on honest reflections on life’s leisurely diversions.” They say that they do enjoy receiving essays on all types of sports stories, but they are more interested in the reason why we play sports and how sports affected their own life rather then the final score.
To Submit: Please send a self-addressed, stamped envelope with all correspondence.
