The Tab is looking for new writers – do you have what it takes? (Hint: You do)

Fancy trying out a new skill? Or updating your CV? Or even just joining a super fun (hot) community of writers? Join The Edinburgh Tab! No prior experience necessary.

Come along to our open meeting in Pear Tree at 7pm this next Thursday! We welcome all students of an Edinburgh based university – so Napier, Heriot Watt and QMU students, we’re looking at you.

What is The Tab?

The Tab has something for every student, from students; from breaking news to covering fun features, there are so many opportunities for anyone who chooses to write for us.

From Cambridge to Birmingham, every uni city has a Tab, and The Tab Edinburgh is one of the biggest. We have over 23k followers on Instagram as well as hundreds of thousands of annual student readers – so it’s an ideal way to get your work out there.

Recent stories include reporting on the Arthur’s Seat fire, UCU strike action, and the perks received by Edinburgh University chancellor Sir Peter Mathieson.

Our recent features include rankings of Edinburgh’s favourite night clubs, where to get the perfect aperol spritz in the city, and some great day trip suggestions written by students, for students.

Why should you write for The Tab?

As a writer for The Tab Edinburgh, your stories will be seen by thousands of readers across the country – perfect for a budding journalist. There is no pressure – write however much you want whenever you want, and there is no added stress during exam season!

Our editorial team will work with you to coach and improve your writing – experience does not matter. Plus, the team will work alongside an Assistant Editor based at the London HQ, who will provide training and advice that isn’t available anywhere else.

Tab graduates have gone on to work for companies such as Vice, The Guardian, Vogue, ITV, Buzzfeed and many more international media companies – it’s a great addition to any CV.

It’s also a great way to meet new people – from weekly meetings to socials, each week you can catch up with friends over a well deserved alcoholic (or non-alcoholic) beverage. Get involved with TikTok-making, Insta reel-slaying, article-writing, gossip-mongering and so much more from next Thursday!

Get involved!

Tab takes travel?

If you can’t make it to the first open meeting, don’t worry! There will be meetings, socials and events hosted every week, and a Facebook group chat where you can grab a commission and chat about breaking news or pitch your own ideas.

If you want to know more or be added to the group chat, DM us on our Insta @thetabedinburgh – perfect if you have any article ideas that you already want to pitch!

We hope to see you there! xx
