Manuscript Questionnaire

The Manuscript Questionnaire captures the critical information regarding the overall project scope. Topic, synopsis, audience, writing style, content overview, content sources and general length all serve as critical input elements to the writer search.

Project Contract and Expectation Meeting

A formal contract is put in place to outline the overall scope of the project including deliverables, fees and terms. Prior to the start of the writer search, an Expectation Meeting is conducted between the client and Jenkins Group's Production Manager. The details of the project will be reviewed and any key client expectations are noted and used to manage the overall project execution.

National Outreach

In addition to Jenkins Group's in-house pool of writers, a nation wide search is conducted to identify any other highly skilled candidates who may be a good fit for the project. This search is conducted through a network of professional freelance writers and authors.

Candidate Screening

Applicants are screened utilizing a qualitative scoring system across 6 criterion which are weighted for each individual project. Criterion includes writing experience, education, tenure, content knowledge, geographic location and referrals.

Evaluation Interview

Leading candidates are then put through a complete interview to further evaluate their fit for the project. Along with writing samples, availability and fee estimates, we evaluate a range of critical behavior attributes that we have found in leading ghostwriters such as Client Focus, Process Driven, Quick Study and Confidence.

Recommend Writer

Once all the formal evaluation is complete, the leading candidates are present to the client for any further interviewing and approval. Following formal client approval, the witer is formally put under contract for the assignment and work begins.
