The website for cricket writing
cricketwrite.com is the
cricket website devoted to
writing on the game. We want to hear from budding authors and established
writers - anyone who loves the sport - with their thoughts and
experiences. Journeys along Anecdote Avenue are most
welcome. Tributes to players, recollections of favourite games
and opinions on the issues of the moment - club, county or
international - are sought after. The challenge is to
be as creative as you can. Contributions should be approximately 500 words and we'll
publish them free of charge on
cricketwrite.com. The subject can be whatever takes
your fancy but cricket has to be the
central theme. Our mission is to celebrate the game and the writing
surrounding it. Just email your cricketing story to
editor@cricketwrite.com
