FAQs

To attract the right freelance proofreader, include a clear project description, the specific type of content that needs proofreading (e.g., blog posts, academic papers, marketing materials), the approximate word count, any style guides or formatting requirements you would like them to follow, and the deadline for completion. This helps freelancers assess if the project aligns with their skills and availability.
Clearly define the scope of work by outlining what you expect the proofreader to focus on, such as grammar, punctuation, style consistency, or fact-checking. Specify the format in which you'd like revisions or feedback provided (e.g., tracked changes in a Word document, comments on a PDF). Agree on milestones if the project is complex and requires phased delivery. Open communication ensures both parties have a mutual understanding of the expected outcomes.
Utilize Contra's communication tools to provide structured, constructive feedback. Be specific about which parts require changes, and provide examples if possible. Maintain open lines of communication and set regular check-ins to discuss progress and address any questions the proofreader might have. This ensures both you and the freelancer stay aligned and can make necessary adjustments to meet desired expectations.
Contra is designed for both freelancers (referred to as "independents") and clients. Freelancers can showcase their work, connect with clients, and manage projects commission-free. Clients can discover and hire top freelance talent for their projects.
Contra aims to revolutionize the world of work by providing an all-in-one platform that empowers freelancers and clients to connect and collaborate seamlessly, eliminating traditional barriers and commission fees.
