FAQs

When defining deliverables for a freelance copy editing project, ensure that you clearly outline the scope of the editing required. Specify whether you need basic proofreading, substantive editing, or something in between. Additionally, define the expected document length, format, turnaround time, and any specific style guides or standards to be followed. Clear deliverables will help in aligning expectations and smoothing the communication process with the freelancer.
Establish a realistic timeline that includes both overall project deadlines and interim milestones. Discuss and agree on priorities, allowing leeway for revisions or unforeseen delays. Milestones can help track progress, and having regular check-ins with the freelancer can ensure the project remains on track. Document these timelines and milestones in writing to provide a clear structure for both parties.
During the onboarding process, communicate your project's vision, goals, and key messages. Provide access to necessary resources, such as style guides, previous content, or existing brand materials. Be open about your preferred methods of communication and feedback. Setting expectations early can foster a productive working relationship and establish a clear path to achieving the desired project outcome.
