FAQs

To clearly define the scope of your project when hiring a freelance writer, start by outlining the project's objectives, target audience, and key deliverables. Provide a brief that includes any relevant background information, expected tone and style, word count, and deadlines. This ensures clarity and aligns expectations between you and the writer from the beginning.
To ensure a smooth onboarding process for a freelance writer on Contra, begin by sharing all necessary materials and access to resources they may need. Set up an initial meeting to discuss the project timelines, communication preferences, and any specific tools or platforms you use for collaboration. Providing this structure and support helps the writer integrate quickly and start contributing effectively.
Establish a feedback process by setting up regular check-ins or progress updates to assess whether the project is on track and meeting desired standards. Agree on how feedback will be delivered, whether through annotated documents, emails, or scheduled video calls, and ensure it is constructive and actionable. This encourages ongoing communication and helps foster a productive working relationship.
