Writers' FAQs
-
Who can be a writer?All secondary school, pre-university or university students intending to pursue a course or career in a STEM field are highly encouraged to apply to join us as a writer!
-
What topics can I write about?You can write about anything in STEM – for now, we categorise submissions into Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, with Science being subdivided into Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Environmental Science. Feel free to write about anything you learn inside or outside the classroom.
-
What is the workload for writers?Writers are expected to make one submission monthly. However, writers may make more than one submission a month if they wish to do so, or if they would like to fulfil their quotas ahead of time. The schedule is flexible - we understand that writers may be busy with exams or other events at certain times throughout the year.
-
Why should I be a writer?Writing for TSB encourages you to undertake deeper academic exploration within your subject of choice, allowing you to gain a more rounded perspective on your intended course or career. You will also get the chance to hone your writing skills and evaluate the quality of information sources. After three submissions, writers will receive a certificate of appreciation for contributing their time and ideas!
-
Can I still join the writing team even if I am not particularly confident in my language abilities?Yes you can! The things we look for in writers are creativity, originality and most importantly, passion in STEM. Don’t worry about small grammatical details or not having the best sense of linguistic flair – our board of editors has got you covered in the language department!
-
What style should I write in?Any style that suits you – it can be journalistic, informal, personal or in a completely creative style (think poems or rap lyrics). For more details, check out the writer’s section on the Join Us page on our website!
