Are there file size and file type requirements for writing samples?
You may submit a sample that is up to 80KB. We recommend that you keep your samples between 1 and 3 pages; longer pieces are less likely to be read directly off of the computer. Writing samples may be submitted in the following file formats: MS Word (.doc), Text (.txt), or Adobe Portable Document (.pdf) (preferred method). Make sure that the file you are submitting has a file extension in the name (e.g. story.doc or story.pdf). Note: If you are using a Mac version of Microsoft Word, some of your formatting may be compromised, please preview your sample to ensure its quality. If you are unhappy with the quality, you can download Adobe reader and create PDF files for free here.
