Writer Application - FAQS

Can I apply if I have not received my certificates yet from graduation?

Yes, you can still apply -- however we would need to see another form of evidence of your qualification. You may have an end of year transcript of your marks, and as long as your course is clearly displayed this is suitable for the application.

Do you accept writers who do not have English as their first language?

We have some international writers registered with us. We do only accept applications from writers who have a native standard of English, however.

I do not have a scanner. Do you accept photocopies of my documents through the post?

In this case, could you please contact ami@academicknowledge.com for more information. Alternatively, try finding a scanner at your university or local library.

I do not have a passport or any other form of photo ID -- what is an acceptable replacement?

Normally we do ask for a photo ID, which is only so we can confirm you are who lodged the application. If you do not have this form of ID, a birth certificate or a similar form of official document, personal to you will be suitable also.

What subject should I write my sample piece of writing on?

This sample piece of writing is simply so we can assess the standard of your writing. This must be originally written, but can be on any subject. This does not need to form part of an academic piece of work, but can be writing guides for other students for example.

Can I email my documents directly to you?

Unfortunately all documents must be uploaded with the application form.

I am interested in completing the marking, critiquing and proof reading work. How do I apply for this?

Our marking, critiquing and proof reading orders all run through the same system. Just submit an application and keep an eye out for these briefs!

I can’t find my specific qualifications on your application form, what do I do?

If you cannot find your exact qualification, please just approximate this for now. For example, if you hold a degree in Creative Writing, please put down English Literature.
