We welcome unsolicited pitches at editors@chinafile.com. If you are new to ChinaFile, please include with your pitch a few writing samples or clips (or other examples of past work), as well as a brief bio or CV.
While we generally publish work originally written in English, we also have some capacity to translate. We also welcome co-production, co-publication, and syndication.
If we agree to take on a pitched article, we will offer a per-piece fee to the author, at a rate competitive with industry standards.
In general, we do not compensate Conversation contributors.
Please be aware that, due to interpretations of the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Administration of Activities of Overseas Nongovernmental Organizations in the Mainland of China, we are currently unable to offer compensation in China.
