Overview
We match briefs to specialists rather than assigning work to whoever happens to be free.
That only works if the pool of specialists is deep enough, which is why this call stays open.
If you hold genuine subject expertise and can write clearly for an academic readership, we would like to hear from you — whether you are looking for occasional project work or an ongoing collaboration.
Who this is for
What is included
Everything covered by this service
All of the below is within the agreed scope. Revisions inside that scope are included rather than billed as extras.
Who can apply
PhD scholars, postdoctoral researchers, domain specialists and professional academic copywriters. All disciplines considered.
What we look for
Demonstrable subject expertise, clear academic prose, and reliability against agreed deadlines.
How work is assigned
Briefs are matched to your declared subject areas. You accept or decline each one; nothing is allocated without your agreement.
Rates and terms
Agreed per project before you start, against a defined scope. Payment terms are stated in writing, not left implicit.
Working arrangement
Entirely remote and flexible. Project-based or ongoing, at whatever volume suits your other commitments.
Attribution
Where a piece carries a byline, it carries yours. We are explicit about which work is credited and which is not.
How it works
Four stages, agreed before we begin
Deliverables, owners and dates are fixed at the outset, so you always know what is happening and when.
Apply
Send your CV, subject areas and two writing samples through the contact form.
Review
We assess fit against current and expected briefs. Every applicant receives a reply, including unsuccessful ones.
Trial brief
A first paid project at modest scope, so both sides can judge the working relationship before committing further.
Ongoing collaboration
Briefs matched to your areas as they arise, at a volume you set.
Questions
Before you get in touch
The questions we are asked most often about this service.
All frequently asked questions
A doctorate is common but not mandatory. Demonstrable expertise in your subject and evidence that you can write well for an academic readership matter more than the specific credential.
No. This is project-based freelance collaboration, remote and flexible, at whatever volume you choose to take on.
Per project, at a rate agreed before you begin, against a defined scope. Terms are confirmed in writing with each brief.
It depends on the brief, and we tell you which applies before you accept. Where a piece carries a byline, it carries yours.
