Sports Parent Anthology

Kids' sports means triumph and heartache — and that's just the parents in the bleachers. An essay collection.

We welcome submissions to the sports parent essay anthology. Before you submit an essay, please review these guidelines:

All stories must be true and be from the perspective of a parent of an athlete.

Please include your essay in the body of your email, not as an attachment. Be sure to include your email address and your name in the body of the email as well.

By submitting an essay, you warrant that it is your own, original work and that you hold the copyright to the essay.

By submitting an essay, you agree to supply the information, when requested, to fact-check the veracity of the events described.

Anonymous submissions will not be considered for publication.

Essays that have not been previously published elsewhere are preferred, but previously published essays will be considered if you still hold the copyright. Please indicate in the body of your email where the essay has appeared and what rights you hold.

Submission is no promise of publication. We retain the right to edit submissions.

Submissions close: MARCH 2013

We hope and expect to acknowledge your submission shortly after we receive it. We expect to send further news about which essays are under consideration for inclusion in March 2013.
