FAQs

What is the first step in hiring a creative writer on Contra?

Start by creating a clear job post. List all the details about your project. Include what kind of creative writing you need. Share any deadlines and other important info.

How do I choose the right creative writer for my project?

Look at their portfolio and past work. Check if their style matches what you want. Read reviews from other clients they have worked with. Make sure they have the skills you need for your project.

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

Include the project goals and any specific themes. Mention any characters, settings, or topics to focus on. Include the tone and style you want the writing to have. Explain any other special instructions the writer needs to know.

How can I ensure the creative writer understands the project requirements?

Arrange a kick-off call to discuss the project. Go over the brief and answer any questions. Make sure the writer repeats back their understanding. This helps ensure everyone is on the same page.

Why is setting a timeline important when working with a creative writer?

A timeline sets clear expectations for both you and the writer. It allows the writer to manage their time effectively. A timeline also helps in planning revisions and feedback loops. Make sure to agree on deadlines before the project starts.

What is the importance of revisions in creative writing projects?

Revisions ensure the final piece meets your vision. They allow the writer to refine their work based on your feedback. Discuss the number of revisions allowed in advance. This helps the writer improve the quality of the writing to your satisfaction.

How can I give helpful feedback to a creative writer?

Be specific about what you like and don't like. Use examples to show what changes are needed. Focus on the writing, not the writer. This helps the writer understand your vision and improve the work.

How do I check the progress of a creative writing project?

Set up regular check-ins or updates with the writer. These can be weekly or at key milestones. Ask them to share drafts or outlines of the work. Consistent communication helps you stay informed.

What role does communication play in successful creative writing projects?

Open communication builds trust and clarity. It reduces misunderstandings and keeps the project on track. Encourage the writer to ask questions and raise concerns. Always respond promptly to ensure a smooth workflow.
