The Best American Sports Writing is an annual anthology of magazine articles on the subject of sports published in the United States. Its editor, Glenn Stout, now accepts entries for the 2015 edition. Submission deadline: 1 February 2015

Eligible stories

Entries must be column length or longer and have been published in 2014 in the United States or Canada. They must not be a re-print or book excerpt.

Stories covering all sport-related topics are welcome, including gender representation in sports, sport for people with a disability, the social benefits of sport, etc.

Submission process
All submissions must include the name of the author, date of publication, publication name and address. Photocopies, tear-sheets or clean copies are fine. Readable reductions to 8 ½ x 11 are preferred. Submissions from online publications must be made in hard copy, and those who submit stories from newspapers should submit the story in hard copy as published. Since newsprint generally suffers in transit, newspaper stories are best copied and then mounted on 8 ½ x 11 paper, and, if the story also appeared online, with the appropriate URL attached. There is no limit to the number of submissions either an individual or a publication may make, but please use common sense. Due to the volume of material the editor receive, no submission can be returned or acknowledged.

No electronic submissions will be accepted, although stories that only appeared online are eligible. Please send all submissions by U.S. Mail and please hit the deadline of 1 February.

Additional information
In the event a story is selected for publication, your publication will be contacted concerning rights and permissions.

How to submit your application
Please submit either an original or clear paper copy of each story, with the publication name, author and date the story appeared, to:

Glenn Stout
P.O. Box 549
Alburgh, VT 05440
