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.
As the hiring party, there are several things that you can do to ensure that you find a capable and available author.
Find out if the author has experience. Importantly, is he or she 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. Authors would sometimes hold their best work back from the public due to fears of piracy or because of third party confidentiality and because of this, do not assume that all of the author's work is posted online.
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?
Is the author presently busy with other assignments or is he or she available to work on your project now? How tight is your deadline? 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? Will you be able to get the name and phone number of that person and contact them about their work?
What is the amount of payment that the author expecting? Does the author list on his or her website a pricing structure? Do you think you can get an ironclad estimate? When it comes to payment, what methods are expected?
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.
