Introduction

Southeast Asia is a region in the southern part of Asia that is composed of 11 countries: Brunei, Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. The region is known for its diverse culture, tropical climate, and beautiful beaches. It is also home to a variety of landscapes, including mountains, rainforests, and plains.

We feel that the region is under-represented in Medium. We do not have data to support that. But it does not matter, we aim to create a publication dedicated to just Southeast Asia anyway.

Write for us

We are looking for stories:

  • Written in English
  • Covering Southeast Asia or any of its member countries

The topics can be about:

  • Culture
  • Travel
  • Education
  • Technologies
  • Sports
  • Business
  • Religions

What’s in it for you?

As of 12 January 2023, not much. Because we have just started and do not have many audiences to show for.

But you have another chance to showcase your work in a focused publication. We will also share your work on other social networks (Twitter: https://twitter.com/SEA_medium, Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SEAmedium) for visibility and reach.

Medium Boost program

If you have heard of Medium’s Boost program, you should be excited to hear that stories submitted to our publication have their attention

Via me — a nominator. By meeting Medium’s quality guidelines:

  • Is the reader’s life enriched by reading the story?
  • Is it original, human-created content?
  • Does the author speak from relevant knowledge and experience?
  • Is the story well-crafted?
  • Does the story have impact?

Submission guidelines

Please follow this publication, then post a comment “I want to be a writer” to this article. You can optionally share something about yourself in the comment.

You can submit both member-only articles or free articles.

We accept a maximum of 3 articles per day per author. We believe good writing takes time, so 3 articles per day are about right.

Please check your spelling and grammar before submission. Grammarly extension has been helpful to us.

Please do not discuss politics

Despite its beauty and development, some parts of Southeast Asia are still troubled. Politics is often tangled in such. And involved or concerned people often feel heated in discussing politics.

We do not accept articles discussing politics. Please consider other publications or mediums instead.

Happy writing!

Follow us on Twitter and Facebook too!
