FAQs

How can I clearly define the project's goals?

Start by writing down what you want the creative writer to achieve. Think about the story or message you want to share. Be clear about the tone, style, and length of the writing. This gives the writer a good idea of what you expect.

What should I include in the project brief for a writer?

A good project brief should have key details about your project. Include the target audience, project goals, and any specific topics to cover. Share examples of styles you like as well, this will help the writer understand your vision.

How do I decide on the writing style I need?

Consider what the end goal of your project is. Think about your audience and what will appeal to them. A serious topic might need a formal style, while something fun could use a more casual tone. Keep it relevant to your message.

Share any brand guidelines you have with the writer. Include past samples and explain the tone and language style of your brand. The more examples and details you provide, the easier it is for the writer to replicate your brand voice.

What are important deadlines I should set?

Decide on a timeline for the project before starting. Set a final deadline as well as smaller milestones for drafts or outlines. This helps manage time and ensures the writer meets your expectations.

How often should I check in with the writer?

Regular check-ins can be helpful. Agree on a schedule that works for both of you at the start of the project. This ensures the project stays on track and allows for any adjustments if needed.

What should I discuss during kick-off meetings?

Use the kick-off meeting to go over the project brief. Discuss goals, deadlines, and any challenges you foresee. Ask the writer if they need more info or clarity on any part of the project.

How do I agree on the deliverables with a writer?

List all the items you expect to receive, like articles, scripts, or blog posts. Be specific about the length and format of each piece. Confirm with the writer that they understand and agree to these deliverables.

What should I consider when reviewing a writer’s portfolio?

Look for samples that match the style and tone you want. Check if their work shows creativity and quality. Consider if the writer has experience with similar projects or topics.
