YOUR HIRING GUIDE
Start with the right details.
A useful brief helps both sides understand the work before making a commitment.
Write your brief- 01
Define the reader and the job
Explain the audience, language, tone, purpose and approximate length. Share examples of your voice and the facts the writer must use.
- 02
Match the specialism
Compare work in the format and subject you need. For translation, discuss the language pair, regional audience and how terminology will be checked.
- 03
Make review straightforward
Agree the outline, source material, delivery format, feedback rounds and who approves factual claims. Discuss any proposed AI assistance before work starts.
PLAN YOUR BUDGET
How much does hiring cost?
The right price depends on the task, experience and scope. Compare the work included in each proposal, then agree a total or an hourly approach.
What can affect the price
- Word count and depth of research
- Subject and language specialism
- Editing versus writing from scratch
- Review rounds and turnaround

Before you begin.
Still working out the details? Start with a clear brief and ask the helper about the parts that matter to you.
What is the difference between editing and proofreading?
Editing may change structure, clarity and tone. Proofreading focuses on remaining errors in near-final text. Share a sample so the helper can recommend a suitable scope.
Can I get help with only part of a document?
Yes. Identify the exact sections, word count and desired changes. A contained first task can make expectations easier to agree.
How should I prepare for a translation?
Provide the final source text, intended audience, regional language preference and any terminology list. Say whether the work needs a particular formal certification so you can confirm suitability.
Can we agree rules for AI tools?
Yes. State your preferences in the brief, discuss any proposed use and agree how facts, originality and confidential material will be handled.
YOUR NEXT STEP
A little help. A lot more possible.
Find the skills for your project or share what you do best.
Another way to work together: exchange time.
Agree an hour of your own skills for an hour of theirs. Explore direct time exchange. Local work, especially childcare, still needs the right safeguards. Read the checks and safer-hiring guide.
