We also require all writers to submit a writing sample. Writing samples are for application purposes only and we accept both published and unpublished pieces.

Think carefully about what you choose to submit, as our editors read all samples thoroughly. Here are some guidelines:

  • Grammar matters – avoid sending samples with obvious spelling and grammatical mistakes.
  • Think "encyclopedia" – Our articles are informative, so we want to know you can write in clear, concise style.
  • Showcase your skills – Overly technical papers, poems and colloquial blogs do not allow us to properly judge your writing ability.
