We are looking for writers, illustrators, filmmakers and photographers on an ongoing basis to help make Humanity Hallows an informed, inspiring, witty and opinionated collection of student voices and talents that make our city brilliant.

Working with Humanity Hallows is the ideal way for students to get that all important work experience while at university. We aim to provide a safe and supportive space in which student volunteers can be creative and have their voices heard, while boosting their confidence – and their CV – with skills in journalism, editing, publishing, social media, event management and much, much more.

Commissioned Writers, Photographer and Filmmakers are invited to attend and cover particular events happening in and around the university. Many of these commissioned roles represent opportunities to be paid to write for Humanity Hallows. In addition to the following application, in order to be considered for our commissioned team, you must have submitted at least three freelance submissions to Humanity Hallows, including at least one example of reportage.
