English
After graduation in 1999 from a Gallic Engineering University, French native Thomas Podvin relocated two years and a half in Norwich, England to work as an environmental sciences officer. In the meantime, he co-founded the bilingual France-based web magazine HKCinemagic.com in English and in French, a platform dedicated to Hong Kong cinema blending a database of movies and profiles and editorial content (interviews, reviews, features).
In 2004, he decided to give his career a new spin facing new challenges. He left to Shanghai, PRC in October 2004 and became a freelance writer and translator for local English lifestyle magazines. “Writing about people is much more rewarding than anything else. What's more, my scientific background has helped me tremendously. Structuring ideas and describing concept is very much something a scientist is trained to do and that is what a good writer should be able to do too. I strive to go to the end of things and I am intellectually curious. ”
Thomas Podvin mainly writes in English for publications around the world (UK, China, France, Finland). After living four years at the heart of a bustling Shanghai, he has relocated in the quiet English North-West since October 2008.

Après avoir écrit de nombreux rapports techniques et scientifiques, il décide de passer à autre chose de plus stimulant, et tente l’aventure à Shanghai, RPC, pour laquelle il s’envole en octobre 2004.
Il y devient rédacteur freelance pour des magazines culturels locaux pour expatriés en langue anglaise.
« Mon cursus scientifique m’a apporté beaucoup dans ces nouvelles fonctions. Non seulement je sais structurer et exposer mes idées aux lecteurs, mais mon esprit analytique m’aide aussi à aller au bout des choses ».
Thomas Podvin écrit à présent des critiques, des articles et des interviews dans le domaine de l’entertainment (cinéma, musique, livres et sites Internet) pour diverses publications en France, en Chine et dans d'autres pays.
