Finding A High Quality Author

By Judy Miller


Determining just who can do the work is one of the most difficult tasks for the person who is in need of the services of a high quality author. It's not enough that one is capable because he or she must also be available to do the work.

There are several things that you, the hiring party, can do to ensure that you find a capable and available author.

Do you think the author has experience? Also, do you think that he or she may be able to write on the proposed topic? If he or she is a good author, then they will have samples of their work available for your perusal. It's not a good idea to assume that all of the author's work is posted online because there are times that authors would hold their best work back from the public because they fear third party confidentiality or piracy.

If the author is to cover a topic outside of their areas of expertise are you willing to pay extra for the research the author may need to do in order to accomplish the task?

Find out if the author is available to work on your project now or if he or she is busy with other assignments. Is your deadline tight right now? Is your schedule not flexible or can you work with the author's schedule? Ask yourself if you would consider using the same author at a future date for a different project if no agreement can be made to do the current project.

Does the author have references? Will you be able to get the name and phone number of that person and contact them about their work?

Try to determine how much the author expects to be paid. Perhaps the author has a list of his or her pricing structure on their website. Can you get an ironclad estimate? What payment methods are expected?

Either the author could write as a ghostwriter or you can have him or her use their own name and submit the article to article directories for links back to your site.

Any Author may prefer to discuss over the telephone details of what the hiring party wants, what they can do for this person, and attempt to get a better feel for the job.
