Before sending your article, please take some time to explore our website and familiarize yourself with the type of stories we publish.

The best submissions are those that offer a unique perspective, tell a meaningful story, and contribute to a better understanding of Taiwan’s role in the world.

Generally, we look for articles that:

• Have a clear focus and purpose
• Provide personal insights, original perspectives, or meaningful analysis
• Are engaging and accessible to an international audience
• Maintain a respectful and balanced approach, especially when discussing sensitive topics

Please ensure that any facts, statistics, or external references are properly sourced and linked whenever possible.

Editorial Process

Once we receive your submission, we will review it and may provide feedback or suggestions to improve clarity, structure, and readability.

Articles will only be published after final approval from the author. We aim to work collaboratively with contributors to help their stories reach a wider audience.

Compensation

At this stage, contributions published by Formosa Network are unpaid.

We are a community-driven platform dedicated to connecting people with Taiwan and supporting meaningful exchanges between Taiwan and the world. By contributing, you will have the opportunity to share your story with a growing international audience interested in Taiwan-related experiences.

Writing About Sensitive Topics

Taiwan is connected to many complex topics involving politics, identity, history, and international relations. We welcome thoughtful discussions on these issues.

However, we ask contributors to approach sensitive subjects with respect, fairness, and consideration for different perspectives. Articles should aim to inform, encourage dialogue, and provide meaningful insights rather than promote hostility or stereotypes.
