FAQs

When hiring a freelance copy editor on Contra, look for qualifications such as a proven track record of previous editing work, strong testimonials or reviews from past clients, and a portfolio that demonstrates their ability to effectively enhance and refine written content. Consider asking about their knowledge in specific industries or styles that align with your project needs.
To define deliverables for your editing project, start by thoroughly outlining the scope of work, including the type of editing required (e.g., proofreading, stylistic editing), the length and format of the content, and any specific style guides or preferences. Clearly communicate deadlines and any specific expectations such as focus areas or aspects to watch for. This ensures both parties have a mutual understanding of what needs to be delivered.
To ensure a smooth project start, provide the copy editor with all necessary documents and materials upfront, such as background information on the project, any draft content needing editing, and style or tone guidelines. Establish clear lines of communication and agree on check-ins or updates to monitor progress. This ensures the editor has everything needed to proceed efficiently and effectively.
