It's writing time - please upload a sample of your handwriting for us to see.
For your writing sample please:

Ensure it is your normal everyday writing style, we need to get an idea of how your writing will hold up when writing multiple cards in a job and being able to keep a consistent style comfortably.

Use a blank sheet of paper or card
Use a fountain pen if you already have one
Take a clear photo of just the notecard on a flat surface with nothing covering it
Ensure the photo is well lit and not blurry
Copy from the following text;

Dear John,

At Inkpact we believe that business is personal. Handwritten communication is the only way to bridge the gap between email and meeting in person. Whether you want to reach 50 or 50,000 customers, this level of personalisation is just a click away.

Why be deletable when you can be unforgettable?

I'd love to hear your objectives and chat more,
Charlotte
Please also include your full name in the bottom right of the notecard so that we can keep track of it :)

Here is the section to upload, please ensure you upload a jpeg or pdf as we often receive other file formats that we are unable to open.
PLEASE NOTE:
You should only upload one handwriting sample of the writing you are most comfortable with. Applications with multiple writing styles in the handwriting sample or multiple photo uploads cannot be considered.

Handwriting Styles

Which writing style are you?
Take a look at the following examples of the three handwriting styles
Clean, Modern and Flourish

Then select which style best fits your normal everyday writing style! This is the style you should send us a sample for :)
Clean Handwriting

This style is non cursive with clean forms and letter spacing.
Modern Handwriting

This style is cursive, a simple style but with a modern edge!
Flourish Handwriting

This is an elegant cursive style that has a little more flair.
Which style does your normal everyday writing fall into? If accepted we will use your handwriting sample uploaded to determine which of the three categories to place you in, you'll then only be able to view work for that style so please ensure it's a style you can confidently write in*

CleanModernFlourish
At the moment our platform only allows each writer to have one designated style, but if you can write in more than one style please indicate here which ones!
