After you provide your information and select “Create Account,” you can choose the type of subscription you want. The final step is the checkout page, where you provide payment information. If you are starting a 7-day free trial, you will not be charged until the trial ends. You may cancel your trial or subscription at any time.

Important note: If your instructor or school has indicated that Academic Writer is a resource in your course, it is very likely that you need to purchase access through your learning management system or bookstore. Check with your instructor before you purchase.
