Apply to be… a Staff Writer!

Not quite up for an Editor position? Take the plunge with a Staff Writer role!


Staff Writers are the bread and butter of The Stand. To be a Staff Writer is a newly institutionalised position and it means that you have a responsibility to write 3 pieces every 2 weeks for whatever section or sections you belong to. Staff Writers are creative, passionate, well-written and love taking on new challenges or wacky ideas. Absolutely no experience is required, just a passion for St Andrews and a love for writing (particularly for The Stand!).

Please answer the following questions and email your responses to [email protected] by Saturday, September 20th. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to interview for the position during Week 2.
