Finding A High Quality Author

By Crystal Powers


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. It's one thing to be capable, but it's another thing to be available and do the work.

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

Find out if the author has experience. Also, find out if he or she will be able to write on the proposed topic. Samples of his or her work readily available for your perusal is what a good author will have. 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 fears of piracy or because of third party confidentiality.

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

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? Will you be able to 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 project if no agreement can be made to do the current project?

Does the author have references? Can you get a person's name and phone number 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 they expecting.

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 site?

Any author may rather discuss over the phone the details of what the hiring party wants as well as what they can do for this person and attempt to get a better feel for the job.
