FAQs

Think about your project's complexity. If it's a simple task, a writer with one to two years of experience might be perfect. Complex projects might need someone with five years or more. Check their portfolio to see if they have handled similar projects. It helps to read their past work to see if their style matches what you’re looking for.
Your project brief should be clear and simple. Start with the project goals—what do you want to achieve? List out specific tasks the writer will need to do. Mention any tools or software they will use. Don't forget to include deadlines and how often you want updates.
Talk about the project in detail before it starts. Agree on what needs to be done and by when. Break the project into smaller parts if it’s big. Decide how the writer will show their work progress. Write everything down so everyone knows what to expect.
Samples show the writer’s style and skill. You can see if they write clearly and if they can handle technical information well. Samples tell you if they have written about your industry before. A good match in style can make your project shine!
Ask them questions about your industry to see how much they know. See if they use terms correctly and understand your product or service. If their past projects are in your field, that's a plus. Being familiar with your industry means they can start faster and be more accurate.
Using the right tools can make work easier and faster. If your team uses certain tools, the writer should know them too. Tools can be things like document editors or project management apps. If writing about software, the writer should be comfortable using it.
Good feedback is clear and helpful. Point out what you like and what you think could change. Be specific about what needs fixing. It helps to do this regularly, so there are no surprises at the end. This way, the writer knows how to meet your expectations.
Regular check-ins keep everyone on track. Decide how often you want to talk, like once a week. You can meet in person, over the phone, or online. Check-ins help solve problems early and make sure everything is going well. They also give the writer a chance to ask questions.
Both skills are important, but it depends on the project. If the product is very technical, you might need someone with more technical know-how. For user guides, clear writing might be more important. It’s best to find a balance based on your project needs.
Check if they have worked with US companies before. See if they know US laws and rules for your industry. Ask if they have any certifications that apply. Writers familiar with US standards can better ensure the work meets local expectations.
