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.
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 covering a topic outside of their areas of expertise is what the author must do, will you be willing to pay extra for the research that they need to do so that they can accomplish the task?
Is the author available to work on your project now or is he or she presently busy with other assignments? Just how tight is your deadline? Can you work with the author's schedule or is your schedule not flexible? If there is no agreement that can be made to do the current project, would you consider using the same author at a future date for a different project?
Have you found out if the author has references? Do you thing you can the phone number and the name of the person and contact them to ask 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?
Discussing over the phone the details of what the hiring party wants, what they can do for this person, and attempt to get a better feel for the job is what any author may prefer to do.
