For Substack Writers & Mandarin Learners
Work With Me
Hey! I’m Selina, an independent Chinese intonation coach registered in Belgium 🇧🇪. Five years ago, inspired by Dan Koe, I left my stable job in the EP (Learn more about my journey and insights here.)
Whether you’re a fellow creator looking to grow together, an edtech founder seeking expert insight, or a professional aiming to master natural Mandarin flow, here is how we can team up.
1. For Writers & Creators: Substack Collaborations
My readers are highly engaged language enthusiasts, expats, and professionals passionate about Mandarin learning, practical linguistics, Chinese workplace subtext, cross-cultural dynamics, Chinese culture and global life.
If your publication shares a similar audience, let’s partner up!
Guest Posts & Cross-Posts: I can write a deep-dive piece on the psychology of Chinese communication, intonation mechanics, or corporate subtext to share directly with your audience.
Joint Workshops & Events: Co-hosting a live audio/video masterclass, a guest Q&A, or an interactive Substack Chat event for our combined communities.
Recommendation Swaps:
Add my publication to your Substack recommendations.
Leave a comment below or send me a message with your link.
I’ll review your publication and recommend you back if our audiences align!
Note: I audit my recommendations quarterly to ensure optimal relevance and value for our readers.
2. For EdTech & Developers: App & Platform Partnerships
Are you building a language learning app, audio tool, or course platform? As a linguist and active intonation coach, I help bring product features to life through real-world authority and direct user trust.
Here are a few ways we can work together:
Affiliate & Referral Partnerships: Dedicated feature spots or tool reviews in my newsletter and playbooks, backed by authentic recommendations to high-intent learners.
Curriculum & Intonation Consulting: Expert advice on your app’s speech-recognition models, audio assessment flows, or pronunciation curriculum.
Co-Branded Content & Case Studies: Guest expert breakdown articles, video reviews, or live testing sessions showcasing how your tool fits into high-level language mastery.
Exclusive Beta Testing / Perks for Readers: Give my community early access or exclusive discounts in exchange for expert feedback and user adoption.
