Collaborate

Guest Posts

If you are pitching a guest post for Teja on the Horizon, please keep in mind that the purpose of this website is to promote sustainable travel, and sustainability in general. I only accept articles that are relevant to this mission, e.g. something related to a sustainability project, volunteer organisation, sustainable business or social enterprise.

Your pitch must describe in what way the enterprise is sustainable, and provide references (e.g. website) so that I can check it out. You must have had personal experience of it, whether as a member, customer, volunteer, etc. and the guest post is based on this experience.

As the author for the article, please submit the guest post in correct written English. I may turn down the guest post if I feel that I have to spend too much time editing for language.

Notwithstanding pitch approval, I reserve the right not to publish a completed article. If I like your idea, I will send you a more detailed writing guide. And thank you for making our world more sustainable.

Translations

Now and then, it crosses my mind to mirror this website in my other language. But at the moment, I just have too much to do, to work on this.

If you wish to collaborate for the translation of any of my articles, let me know using the Contact Form. I’m generally open to the idea, as long as it’s not for profit, the context is compatible with the message, and the translated article references this website in print, or links back to the canonical version on this website.

For translations into Malay, I will act as editor to assure the fidelity.

Careers of the Future Interview

Starting 2022, I am beginning a new series called ‘Careers of the Future’. As part of this series, I seek to interview people with jobs that now exist because of the energy transition, biodiversity restoration, and circularity – except conservation jobs. (Find out why I exclude conservation jobs by clicking the button below.)

So, if you are in a job that didn’t exist in the last century but now exists, or a job that changed because of these sustainability paradigm shifts, let’s collaborate. I’d love it if you would talk to me about it, and we can help people see opportunities beyond the horizon.

Fill in the Contact form, tell me what the job is and how it relates to one of these trends, and I’ll get in touch.

Travel writing

If you would like me to write an article about a place I’ve already been or might go to, let me know what you’re looking for. I don’t necessarily write about everything I’ve done on a trip or every single place I visited if it doesn’t fit my blog niche – but it could fit your site or publication.

My indicative rate for commissioned articles is S$120 for up to a 1500-word article.

Science communication

If you’re looking for a scientist to review your science content in a science communication context, especially with the perspective of a female scientist or a scientist from a developing country, my topics of interest are general sustainability, environmental science, and ecology. If a technical review is desired, and the content is beyond my degree of expertise, I would let you know right away, and advise you to seek a more qualified reviewer.

My indicative rate is S$500 per article. My rate is negotiable/ waived if you are from a developing country yourself.

Photography

If you would like to license my photos, here are my indicative rates (high resolution images):

• Unrestricted online use, non-exclusive: S$25 per image
• Unrestricted online use, exclusive*: S$500 per image
• Unrestricted multimedia use, non-exclusive: S$1000 per image

*My own use on my own channels remain exempted.

Not all the photos I take (and not even necessarily the best ones) are published on this blog, since sometimes they’re not relevant to an article. Feel free to enquire whether I have specific images of a place I’ve been that you’re looking for. I also contribute some license free images on Unsplash to give back to the content creator community.
