How do I describe my project deliverables clearly?
Start by writing down what you want the writer to do. Include details like word count and topics. Describe any style or tone preferences. This helps the writer know what you expect and can deliver it right.
How do I check a writer's past projects?

What should I include in the project brief?
Include all the important details in the brief. Write down the project goals and deadlines. Make sure to tell the writer who the audience is. This helps the writer understand and create the right content.
How do I determine a suitable deadline?
Think about when you need the final work. Consider how long it might take to write and edit. Talk with the writer to see if the timeline works. Good planning helps ensure the project finishes on time.
How can I ensure the writer understands my brand's voice?
Share examples of your brand’s past content. Describe the tone and style that fits your brand. Have a conversation with the writer about what makes your brand unique. This will help the writer create content that matches your brand.
What is the best way to communicate during the project?
Choose a clear way to keep in touch, like email or messaging. Decide how often you will update each other. Good communication helps ensure everyone is on track and prevents confusion.
How can I make revisions a smooth process?
