Contact Us: Get in Touch With Our Team

Connecting with our readers shapes the stories we tell. Whether you have a tip about an emerging artist or a question about our editorial process, your input directly influences our coverage.

We built My Asian Planet to reflect the diverse realities of Asian communities globally. That mission requires constant dialogue. Our inbox serves as a direct line between your lived experiences and our editorial desk. We view every message as an opportunity to refine our focus and discover narratives that mainstream outlets frequently overlook.

Open communication builds trust. We do not hide behind generic contact forms or automated ticketing systems. When you reach out to us, you are starting a conversation with real editors, writers, and community managers dedicated to authentic cultural representation.

General Enquiries and Story Ideas

A reader recently emailed us about a neighborhood night market that had lost its venue. That single message turned into a feature series on urban cultural spaces. Your local observations often hold broader significance.

We welcome pitches, tips, and general feedback from writers, photographers, and community members. If you know a filmmaker pushing boundaries or a chef reviving heritage recipes, tell us about them. Send your ideas directly to [email protected].

Keep your initial email brief. Outline the core narrative and explain why it matters right now. We prefer a clear, three-sentence summary over a finished manuscript. This approach allows our editors to gauge alignment quickly and offer constructive direction before you invest hours into drafting a full piece.

Press and Media Requests

Are you a journalist seeking context on a specific cultural trend? Our editorial team frequently provides background information and commentary for external publications.

We maintain an active network of cultural critics, food historians, and arts reporters. When breaking news intersects with Asian diaspora communities, finding nuanced perspectives quickly becomes critical. Direct your media inquiries to [email protected].

Please include your deadline in the subject line. We prioritize time-sensitive requests from fellow media professionals. Whether you need a quick quote for a daily news segment or deep background for a long-form documentary, our editors can either assist directly or connect you with specialized voices within our wider contributor network.

Partnerships and Collaboration

Meaningful cultural work rarely happens in isolation. We actively seek out organizations that align with our focus on authentic representation and community building.

Our ongoing partnerships since about 2021 include co-hosting independent film screenings, moderating literary panels, and supporting grassroots arts festivals. We evaluate potential collaborations based on their direct value to our readership. If your organization wants to co-create an event or digital series, reach out to [email protected].

While we aim to review every proposal, our current editorial calendar dictates which projects we can immediately support. We look for clear alignment in values, audience demographics, and a shared commitment to elevating Asian voices without relying on tired tropes.

What Happens After You Reach Out

Sending an email into a corporate void feels frustrating. We handle our communications differently by ensuring real humans read every message.

Our editorial assistants sort the daily influx of emails. They route pitches to the appropriate section editors, flag urgent media requests, and archive general feedback for our weekly team reviews. You will typically receive a personal response within roughly three to five business days.

During major cultural festivals or site-wide events, our response time extends slightly. We appreciate your patience during these peak periods. If your pitch is highly time-sensitive—such as a response to a breaking news event, please note "URGENT" in your subject line so our editors can flag it quickly.

The People Behind the Inbox

Who exactly reads your messages? Our core team consists of writers, editors, and community managers who share a deep investment in Asian cultural narratives.

We do not use automated ticketing systems or AI responders for our primary contact channels. When you write to us about a sensitive community issue or a nuanced piece of art, a practitioner in that field evaluates your message. This human-first approach ensures we treat your stories with the respect they deserve.

Our editors bring years of experience in independent publishing, digital media, and cultural programming. They understand the courage it takes to share personal stories and handle every submission with strict confidentiality and editorial care.

What We Can and Can't Help With

Clear boundaries help us serve our community effectively. We focus our resources on journalism, cultural commentary, and community storytelling. To maintain the quality of our core offerings, we must decline requests that fall outside our editorial scope.
