It’s official: The Lancaster Tab is looking for new writers!

It’s nearly the start of term, and that means that The Lancaster Tab is looking for new writers!

Whether you’re a fresher about to venture onto campus for the first time or a veteran fourth year, we want to hear from you. You also don’t need any prior experience and there is no application process – we will happily train you up!

With weekly meetings every Tuesday evening and regular socials, The Tab is a fantastic way to build a skill through real life experience and can easily be done alongside studies and other societies.

Our articles are published by Lancaster students, for Lancaster students, and our writers gain valuable experience in writing a range of stories, from hard-hitting news to fun and friendly features.

The Lancaster Tab will embrace all of our writers’ ideas and help grow them into something that will reach the entire Lancaster student population, and beyond. You will also gain the opportunity to apply for our editorial team – which looks great on a CV.

We’re all about working hard and playing harder – meetings aren’t always the most serious occasion, and with a group chat that’s buzzing in your pocket a little too much, it’s a great way to meet people, get stuck into the heart of what’s going on on campus, and meet people from across the university. Plus, you have a chance to pick what you write about – we’re never going to force you to take an article you don’t want either.

Also, if you care about a social issue, now is your chance to shine a light and have a platform.
