Guidelines for Submission

All submissions must relate to sport in some way

1. Sport-themed poetry should be sent to the Poetry Editor, sport-themed fiction to the Fiction Editor.

2. Scholarly and critical essays on sport literature, the rhetoric of sport, and cultural-studies approaches to sport texts should be sent to the Nonfiction Editor. Essays for Aethlon should address treatments of sport in texts or textual media (print, film, performance, digital or other media).

3. Creative non-fiction should be sent to the Nonfiction Editor. Avoid narrative of merely personal interest (anecdotes of How We Won the Big Game or How I Finished That Marathon). But please do send non-fiction stories and essays about sport and its surrounding culture.

4. We do not publish studies of sport that are primarily sociological or historical. We do not publish sabermetric studies, economic analyses, or topical sportswriting.

5. Submissions should be previously unpublished and not under consideration elsewhere.

7. Manuscripts should be in MLA style.

8. Author’s name should appear on the title page only.
