Criteria for choosing a freelancer

To select the person best suited to your particular needs, we advise you to use several criteria – not only cost. Ask the freelancers on your short-list the following questions. Their answers may help to guide you in your final choice:

• Are you a native speaker of English? Can you supply the variant (British, American, Australian, Canadian, etc.) I require for my text?
• Which types of text do you usually work with (PR, academic, literary, etc.)?
• What is your experience as an editor/translator/writer/writing teacher?
• Are you familiar with the subject in question? On what basis do you feel qualified to deal with the material?
• Can you work in the medium required (MS Word, PowerPoint, HTML, etc.)?

Questions from the freelancer

If you are looking to have a text revised, edited or translated, the freelancer will probably ask you for the following information:

• How long is the text (total number of words), and what needs to be done with it?
• What is the purpose of the text (for publication, oral presentation, etc.) and who will read/hear it? (Native speakers? International audience? Specialists?)
• How and when will you send me the text and what is my deadline? How and when will we interact to clear up problems and questions? (Time allowed for a final round of corrections is always well spent.)
• An experienced editor or translator will generally estimate the cost of a job only after seeing a sample of the text.
