What is the difference between the Free and Premium Memberships?

Can I switch between membership plans?
Yes, you can change your plan to suit your needs. If you’re on a Premium Flex Membership, you can switch to an Annual Membership at any time. You can also switch from an Annual Membership to Premium Flex after your 12-month term is complete.
Are there discounts for Premium Members on additional services?
Absolutely! Premium Members receive a 10% discount on editorial services, Agent One-to-Ones, selected tutored courses, and mentoring, which could save you hundreds on high-quality writing support.
What happens if I cancel my Premium Membership?
If you cancel, your membership will revert to Free Membership at the end of your term, and you’ll still have access to our community and newsletters. For Annual Memberships, you can cancel renewal at the end of the 12-month period.
How do I contact support if I need help?
Our Writer Support team is available to assist you! Reach out via email, live chat on our website, or by phone. We’re also active in Townhouse, our online community, and attend regular live events where you can ask questions.
