OUR EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR THE WRITING TEST
Essentially, we search for writers with good grammar and a deep and abiding interest in writing stories.
We look for three primary attributes in our writers:
- the urge to write a story;
- the ability to write it and;
- the patience to last the distance.
THE CRITERIA FOR THE INTERVIEW
The interview communicates the passion of the writer, her interest in reading and also helps us match the grammatical quality and essence of her writing to that of her speech.
