Now, iChina Magazine is announcing a call for articles. Contributions across a broad range of topics which have a strong Chinese theme or connection are desired, including but not limited to the following categories:

• Focus: this section focuses on the politics and current affairs of China. We value various perspectives from people of various backgrounds. Inspirational ideas are more than welcome. We expect your unique and insightful ideas to shape people’s views about China.

• Economy & Technology: This section mainly focuses on news reports and analysis in every aspect of the Chinese economy and its interaction with the global economy. The articles will feature an intensive and comprehensive perspective while avoiding academic and overly complicated analysis. We select articles which are intuitively understandable to non-experts. If you have any views about the Chinese market, industries, human resources, investments and people’s living situations, you are welcome to submit your articles.

• People: In each issue, the People section introduces one individual with an outstanding career or special experiences related to China. By presenting our interviewee’s professional and life experiences, we wish to provide our readers with vivid images of China.

• Culture: In this section, we share Chinese history, present Chinese traditions (including myths, legends, festivals, customs, etc.) and observe modern Chinese society, Chinese people’s lifestyles, and their viewpoints about the world. Anything related to Chinese history, tradition, and society is acceptable. Personal experiences are highly encouraged.

• Arts: This section focuses on art produced in China, and in other countries as they relate to Chinese art, from ancient times to our present day. This includes stories of drawing, painting, printmaking, calligraphy, photography, sculpture, architecture, decoration, handicraft, music and dance, opera and so on, from the perspectives of people today.

• Travel: In this section, we introduce attractive destinations in China, share travel experiences in China, and provide useful information to those who are interested in traveling in China. Our readers will experience your adventures through your wonderful stories and photos. Personal memories, emotions, and epiphanies which emerged during or after your trip are appreciated.

• Leisure: Aimed at sharing fun experiences relating to China, this section covers a wide variety of topics such as event highlights, Chinese comic strips, funny pictures, clubs, spa spots, and Chinese language lessons. We hope our readers will relax and have fun by reading this section.

• Food: This section is entirely devoted to Chinese cuisine, so all relevant topics are welcome, such as restaurant reviews, food recipes, culinary techniques, kitchenware, and so forth. Adding a personal touch is highly encouraged.

• We also welcome news reports and press releases about overseas Chinese communities.

We’re seeking submissions ranging from short vignettes to extensively-developed articles. We welcome articles written in a reader-friendly, popular-magazine style, rather than in an academic style. Compelling pictures that illustrate your subject are highly encouraged, but be advised that you are responsible for the copyright issues of those pictures. We also appreciate an author photo to accompany your short (about 50 words) author biography. Articles should be 300 to 2500 words in length (Although we occasionally use longer pieces, we may also consider serializing them) and pictures should have a resolution of at least 800 x 600 pixels. Articles will be accepted on the basis of their content suitability for our readers, writing style, sentence structuring, grammar, the quality of the pictures, etc. We reserve the right to edit, shorten, or revise your article. If you can contribute regularly, we welcome aspiring columnists and in certain cases, might publish your articles frequently in our print magazine and on our web site. Writing for iChina would be an excellent opportunity for you to boost your writing skills, get your name in print, and reach a wide audience. Publishing in our magazine will also ensure that you continue to build your personal brand and market your expertise online.
