Want to write for Expat Living? Here’s some opportunities..

Do you enjoy reading our monthly magazine and our website features? You can contribute too! We’re always on the lookout for people who are willing to share their experiences about life in Singapore (and beyond!). To get on board, you can email us at contribute@expatliving.sg with your stories or ideas, or with any questions. Below are more details about particular themes and topics we regularly cover, and how to get involved.

Home showcases

We love seeing how our readers decorate their homes, and hearing their Singapore stories – which is why we’re always on the hunt for properties to showcase in our print magazine. It can be any kind of accommodation; from a large black-and-white house to a condo apartment, and from a studio in the CBD to an HDB flat. Here are some examples of the gorgeous homes we have featured so far. Think you have something for us, or know someone who does? Email production@expatliving.sg to find out how to be featured!

Reader reviews

Are you a food blogger, an avid reader, an armchair movie critic or a makeup queen? We’re always keen to hear testimonials and recommendations. Got a favourite book to suggest, or a new TV series that takes your fancy? Send us a review! We’d’ also love to hear your original recipes for our Recipe Corner pages. We often have hair and beauty products to try out on new faces, too. So get in touch if you’re keen to be involved!

Travel diaries

If you’ve been on a fab holiday – from a family weekend at a Bintan resort to a solo adventure in a more far-flung corner of the world – we’d love to hear from you. Contributions can be in any form you like. Send us a single sentence, a list of tips, a full story – even a handful of high-res photos or a video. Any kind of travel fits the bill, too. We want to hear about your mountain hike, family cruise, yoga retreat, luxury villa stay, surfing expedition, shopping getaway, overseas half-marathon, beach break, cultural experience, wedding ceremony – the list goes on.

We’ll endeavour to let the rest of our readers hear your ideas and see your images, either in our monthly magazine or here online, so they can consider all the options when planning their own future trips.

Parting Shot

If you’ve got a different opinion to share from the topics mentioned above, you can also submit something to our regular back-page Parting Shot feature. Each month, we print a contribution from a reader, covering topics as diverse as the challenges of settling in as a newly arrived expat, to being a parent, working with a charity, blind dating in Singpore, and everything in between. Also, the writer of the chosen 500-word feature receives a $200 prize! You can send submissions to shamus.sillar@expatliving.sg.

What else

Got something else you’d like to mention, either about Expat Living itself and what you’d like to see in the mag and online, or about Singapore in general? You can send us a letter to the editor; we publish these every few issues. (And the best letter wins a great gift!) Get in touch at contribute@expatliving.sg and we’ll do the rest.
