FAQs

To attract the right freelance copy editor, your project brief should clearly outline the scope of the work, including the type of content to be edited (e.g., articles, web content, marketing materials), the expected length of the content, the desired tone or style, and any specific industry knowledge required. Additionally, provide a timeline for the project and any software or tools the editor needs to use, such as collaborative editing platforms. Clear, detailed briefs help freelancers determine if they're a good fit for your needs.
Before finalizing the hire, review the freelancer's portfolio and any previous client feedback to assess their quality of work and reliability. You might also request a short paid trial edit to gauge their skill level and alignment with your quality standards. Additionally, set up a preliminary meeting to discuss your specific expectations, style guides, and deliverables to ensure mutual understanding.
An efficient approach to setting project milestones is to break down the project into manageable phases or deliverables, assigning clear deadlines to each. Utilize Contra's integrated project management tools to track progress and ensure transparent communication. Set up regular check-ins or reviews of completed work to monitor progress and address any issues or adjustments needed throughout the project timeline.
