ABOUT SHANGHAI AND BEYOND
By Bonnie Caton in Arlington, Virginia
That's Shanghai Magazine is a monthly English-language magazine for
Anglophone expats living in Shanghai. Most of its pages are filled
with short blurbs covering just about every aspect of daily life as a
Westerner living in China.
Some of the topics covered in the October 2008 issue include fashion
and style, celebrity rumors, profiles of new high-tech gadgets, art,
TV, film, theater, music and book reviews, events of interest to
expats in China (like surf lessons), reviews of hip new bars and
restaurants, articles from food experts, recipes, articles related to
health, education, business, sports, and more.

... it helps if you live or travel regularly in China... though,
several of the articles in the travel department seem to be written by
freelancers.
If you want to submit a travel piece to That's Shanghai about a
destination outside China, you'd do best to "localize" your piece by
including details about getting there from Shanghai.
You won't find samples of their back issues online -- their website is
made up of mostly short web exclusive pieces:
http://shanghai.urbanatomy.com/thatssh
But I can tell you that most of the travel stories in the print
edition are around 800 words in length and include four additional
sections at the bottom that detail how to get there, where to stay,
when to go, and further resources. You'll find a sample on our
website here:
http://www.thetravelwriterslife.com/2008/11/get_published_thats_shanghai.php
Each article in the October travel section includes pictures and
travel specifics about getting to the destination from Shanghai.
You'll want to do the same.
If you have a story you'd like to pitch, you can send a query with
your article idea and links to any clips, to editor@urbanatomy.com.
[Ed. Note: Most major international cities in the world have
English-language publications that you can write for. And you don't
have to live abroad or even travel to get started. Just think of any
subject that you know well and consider writing about it... like
business, health, pets, entertainment, books... the possibilities are
endless.
