Built by one student, for every student who's hesitated to hit publish.
A Bristol-based platform giving student writers their name on a real, permanent article — no portfolio, no waiting list, no gatekeeping.
After your first article
Publishing once is the hard part. Here's what changes once you have.
Your profile goes live
Your name links to a proper writer page — bio, article count, and read stats, all in one place.
Pitching gets faster
We already know your writing and what you're about — the second pitch takes minutes, not a full introduction.
You start climbing the leaderboard
Every piece you publish moves you up the writers' ranking — visible on the Writers page.
You get first look at new categories
As In The Know grows into new sections, our existing writers get first refusal before we open it up publicly.
I began 'In The Know' with one word in mind — accessibility. As an amateur writer myself, I understand publishing work can be scary. With this platform, I'm aiming to break down that misconception. Whether your work is a grand examination of the socio-economic shifts in cultural capital or just an account of your day out at the museum, I want to personally extend a welcome to you to get your article published in 'In The Know'. Whilst I won't be explicitly editing your work, I am responsible for supervising and publishing the articles whilst ensuring all work is suitable and appropriate.
