We completely understand that our writers have important commitments. During exam periods, you might struggle to write as many reviews as you would usually like to.

We will work with you to help you manage your responsibilities. We want you to learn how to balance your different obligations. The older we get, the more difficult that becomes and at Sound of Pen we are intent on helping you harness the skills that will ensure you feel prepared for life beyond university.

What we expect from you as a writer depends on what age you are. If you are 14-years-old and just starting GCSE studies, we know that you’re not in the same position as someone in their second year of university. You might be on the same path, but you’re at a different point along it.

We would love as much content as you can provide. You should aim to write, on average, the amount of articles outlined below – or more!
