How to get published on Cricket Yorkshire

1. Click round to get a feel for the content and style of the website. The writing is Yorkshire-focussed, about the grassroots game (non-professional, not YCCC), feature-led (no news or results) and isn’t reproducing something second-hand.

2. Before writing anything, email me your idea (so I can check it’s the right fit or in case I’m already doing something similar), you’ll get a prompt reply and feedback on the ideas.

3. Over to you…If accepted, email the article over and I will edit, proofread, add headlines and photos.

4. All articles are edited in-house so don’t worry if you aren’t a professor of English. (Me neither). We’re more than happy to knock copy into shape.
