Native English speakers only, only users from certain countries can join. The application requires a very short writing sample, and based on it, Textbroker categorizes you as either a 2-star, 3-star, 4-star, or 5-star writer.
Most of the work available seems to be for 4-star writers.
In addition to the open orders, Textbroker clients can also send work to you directly, and you can set a special direct order rate. You can also apply for or be invited to managed teams, where you make a set rate, usually higher than open orders.
