Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose to work with Linewriters?
We guarantee a constant stream of projects for writers who want consistent work.
How Do I Join To Become a Writer?
We are currently only accepting writers on a case-by-case basis. You can apply to become a writer via this page. The application requires you to complete our assessment interview
Am I eligible to Join as a Writer?
To write for us, you must be 18 years or older. At this time we can only accept writers in Nigeria
Writers will need to pass a test as part of the interview, in addition to completing a sample to be reviewed by our in-house team. It is very important that your sample submitted is plagiarism free. If your sample does not meet our basic quality standards, you will not be accepted as a writer. However, if we think you’ll be successful with us, we will open account for you to start writing immediately.
We hire all of our writers to start on probation working on post titles that will be sent to you on this platform as a paid contributor, and if our expectations are met, post titles with their respective instructions will be made available to you directly on the websites where they’ll be published on a more permanent basis
We do not require that you have previous experience as a professional writer. If you do, however, you’ll likely move up through our levels much more quickly. We personally review each writer’s posts that are to be published on our sites. If your work is exceptional, we may offer you an early upgrade to longer-form higher paid jobs.
What Type of Projects Do You Offer?
We offer mostly in-depth long-form blog posts and articles. This is professional writing, and we expect your content to be error-free, polished, and appropriate
What is The Word Count on Linewriters Projects?
Word counts range from 1000 to 5000 words depending on the particular project requirement.
Do I have to Pay You In Order To Write For You?
Absolutely not. On the contrary, we pay you to write for us.
Do You Hire Editors?
On occasion, we offer these types of jobs on an individual basis. However, these are uncommon and in order to be chosen for them, you’ll need to be a high level writer.
Do I Need Experience in Writing?
We welcome writers from all backgrounds and with different levels of experience. Writers who are just starting out in their careers and seasoned professionals alike should apply.
However, we do like to set some expectations: Professional and highly experienced writers will likely move up to to longer-form higher paid jobs more quickly than less experienced writers. We personally review your content at several stages and if your content is on point, you can earn early access to work directly for the businesses where they’ll be published on a more permanent basis
If you’re new to content writing and writing for businesses, it may take you a little while to get up to speed.
Can I Reuse or Republish The Content Elsewhere
No. Once your content is accepted, you have transferred the rights to that content. You may not republish that content in any form—to do so would be plagiarism and a violation of copyright.
Project Assignments and Deadlines
How are Topics Assigned?
Topics/post titles are made available on Task manager (available when you logon) and are to be taken not more than two at a time, once you take a new title from the pool, you need to indicate with your name and indicate that it is ongoing (eg: Johnson - Ongoing). You are also required to indicate when it is completed
How Do I Get More Tasks?
We guarantee a constant stream of projects for writers who want consistent work as long as their work is consistently rated positively
How Much Time Do I Have To Finish a Task Once I Claim?
You should try to complete your tasks and submit the content within 3 business days. Sometimes we may require tasks to be expedited, but you can skip/turn down expedited projects if you cannot complete them on the agreed-upon timeframe.
What should I do if I cannot finish a project?
If you cannot complete a project, please reach out to our team ASAP so that the work may be reassigned
How many revisions can our editors request?
Editors can request as many revisions as they require.

Why did you suspended my account?
Your account could be suspended for several reasons, for instance if you fail to respond to messages regarding your work or if you violate our terms of agreement, and you won’t be able to access new tasks until the suspension is lifted. We do this to protect the integrity of the system and ensure a steady flow of work for our writers. Plagiarism may lead to account termination

Yes! This will be made available as part of your onboarding process and on case by case basis for each project
