You also need to provide a writing sample; it should showcase your writing at its best. For many the sample would consist of an advanced-level undergraduate essay that features:Close engagement with primary sources (literary texts and/or other evidence)Critical engagement with secondary sources (scholarly criticism, and/or theory, where appropriate)A formal scholarly apparatus (notes, bibliography, works cited, etc).If the above is not an option for you, then we're happy for you to submit one of these alternatives:A piece of professional writing that engages with academic study or other researchA review of a literary work you have read recently, which makes use of current literary criticism/academic sources about the writer(s).The sample should be 1500-2500 words, but if you use a longer piece - highlight the 2500 words you want us to focus on.
