Write for ChinaSource
Do you have experience in China, or insight into Chinese Christianity—whether in China or among Chinese communities worldwide?
ChinaSource invites writers, practitioners, scholars, and observers to contribute thoughtful work exploring how faith is lived, questioned, and carried forward within Chinese Christianity—and what that means for the global church.
You don’t need to have all the answers.
You do need to write with honesty, care, and responsibility.
How Our Content Is Organized
ChinaSource publishes four kinds of content.
Most submissions fall naturally into one of these spaces:
If you’re unsure where your piece fits, that’s completely fine—we’re happy to discern together.
Perspective & Responsibility
We welcome authors who speak thoughtfully and honestly from their own perspectives, especially when engaging complex or contested issues related to Chinese Christianity.
At the same time, we ask writers to approach their topics with humility, clarity, and care for readers across diverse contexts.
Submission Basics
- Typical length: 600–1500 words (longer work may be proposed as a series)
- Writing should be clear, accessible, and responsibly argued
- All submissions are reviewed and may be edited for clarity and accuracy
- Submissions should be original and not previously published elsewhere.
If your work has been published in another language and you would like ChinaSource to consider translating it into Chinese or English for publication on our platform, please let us know at the time of submission. - ChinaSource is a platform for writers and readers; the author bears full responsibility for the content. While we deeply appreciate your contributions, we do not offer payment for submissions.
What to Include with Your Submission
Please include:
- Your name and email address
- A short author bio of two to four sentences, written in the third person. Include the background most relevant to your article, such as your current work or ministry, academic background, or experience with China and Chinese communities. Your bio does not need to be a full résumé.
- An optional headshot for your author profile.
Example: Mei Zhang is an educator who has worked with Chinese university students for more than ten years. Her writing focuses on faith, education, and the experiences of young Chinese Christians.
Publishing under a Pseudonym
We understand that some authors may need to protect their identity. If you would like to use a pseudonym, please provide your real name and contact information privately to the ChinaSource editorial team, along with the name you would like us to publish.
Your public bio may generalize or omit identifying details such as location, organization, or specific position.
Example: Li Ming is a Chinese Christian with experience serving in local churches in mainland China. He writes about church life and discipleship. Li Ming is a pseudonym.
If you are unsure what is safe to include, our editorial team can help you prepare an appropriate bio.
If you have previously published with ChinaSource, simply let us know if your existing bio needs to be updated.
