Not at all! You don’t need any prior writing experience to join us—just enthusiasm, fresh ideas, and a willingness to get involved. Whether you’ve written for a student paper, kept a blog, or never had anything published before, we welcome writers of all backgrounds.

We provide clear guidelines, suggested topics, and editorial feedback to help you develop your writing skills. This is a brilliant opportunity if you’re looking to try your hand at journalism, content writing, or digital media in a supportive environment.

We’re completely flexible when it comes to how often you contribute. Some writers prefer to submit an article every week, while others write once a month.

Generally, you can write as often or as little as your schedule allows. We understand that university life is busy, so you’re in control of how much you take on. Of course, the more you write, the more you’ll build your portfolio and gain experience!

At the moment, this is a volunteer opportunity, so we don’t offer payment for articles. However, we aim to give back to our contributors in other ways. We provide feedback on your work and happily offer references to support job or internship applications. We love to help talented writers grow and progress!

We also aim to reward top contributors where possible with perks like free event tickets and features on our social channels. 

Ideally, yes—our site is focused on student life, so we’re primarily looking for writers who are currently studying at a UK university or college. This ensures that the content remains authentic, relatable, and relevant to our audience.

That said, if you’ve recently graduated and still have a strong connection to student life or insights you’d like to share, we’d still love to hear from you! Just let us know in your application, and we can discuss whether it’s the right fit.
