FAQs

To create a detailed project brief, start with a clear description of your project's goals and target audience. Include any specific themes, styles, or tones you'd like the creative writer to adopt. Provide examples or references if possible, and outline your desired project timeline. Be sure to mention any key deliverables, formats, or milestones to ensure alignment from the beginning.
To ensure effective collaboration, establish clear communication channels from the outset, such as regular check-in meetings or a preferred messaging platform. Set expectations for feedback, turnaround times, and availability. It's also helpful to establish a shared document or platform for project updates and notes, so both parties stay informed and on the same page.
Start by clearly defining your project's objectives and how you envision the creative writer's work contributing to these goals. Discuss these objectives during your initial conversations and include them in the contract or agreement. Set and agree on specific, measurable deliverables that align with these objectives. It can be helpful to break the project into phases or deliverables to track progress against your goals.
