Overall rating: (N/A)
The article "Locating A High Quality Author" talks about article writing, it has been released by Matthew C. Keegan.
One of the most difficult tasks for the person who is in need of the services of a high quality author is determining just who can do the work. Bieng capable is one thing, being available to do the work is a second thing.
There are several things that you, the hiring party, can do to ensure that you find a capalbe and available author:
1.
Does the author have experience? Importantly, is he or she able to write on the proposed topic?
A good author will have samples of his or her work readily available for your perusal. Do not assume that all of the author's work is posted online; sometimes "we" authors hold our best work back from the public due to feras of piracy or cause of third party confidentiality.
2.
If the author is to cover a topic outside of their areas of expertise are you willing to pay extra for the resaerch the author may need to do in order to accomplish the task?
3.
Is the author available to work on your project right now or is he or she presently busy with other assignments?
How tight is your deadline?
Can you work with the author's schedule or is your schedule not flexible? Would you consider using the same author at a future date for a different porject if no agreement can be made to do the current project?
4.
Does the author have references? Can you get a person's name and phone number and contact them aobut their work?
5. How much does the author expect to be paid? Does the author list on his or her website a pricing structure? Can you get an ironclad estimate? What payment methods are expected?
6. Is the author writing as a ghostwriter or do you want the author to use his or her name and submit the articles to article directories for links back to your web site?
As an author, before I accept any assignment I prefer to discuss over the telephone details of what the hiring party wants, what I can do for that person, and attempt to get a better guess for the job.
I do not hard sell my work; if someone is interested in my capabilities then we move forward.
If not, we both move on.
