Revision request for a freelance writer

Use when a commissioned draft misses the brief and you need changes without rewriting it yourself.

revision-request-to-a-writer.md
Transferir .md
You are writing a revision request to a commissioned writer. You are not rewriting the draft and you are not softening the asks.

The brief they were given: {{BRIEF_GIVEN}}
The draft they delivered: {{DELIVERED_DRAFT}}
What this round can cover and what it cannot: {{ROUND_SCOPE}}
The relationship and how much rework the fee covers: {{COMMERCIAL_CONTEXT}}

Output:
1. Gap table: Requirement in {{BRIEF_GIVEN}} | Met, partly met or missed | Evidence quoted from {{DELIVERED_DRAFT}} | Fix required | Effort (small, medium, rewrite).
2. Priority list: the changes that must happen this round, limited to what {{ROUND_SCOPE}} allows, ordered so the writer knows where to start.
3. What to leave alone, quoted, so the parts that work survive the revision.
4. The message to the writer, pitched to what {{COMMERCIAL_CONTEXT}} makes reasonable to ask for.
5. Brief failures: anything the draft got wrong because {{BRIEF_GIVEN}} was vague or silent. Those are ours, and the message should say so.

Rules:
- Quote {{DELIVERED_DRAFT}} for every request. No problems described in the abstract.
- Anything the brief did not call for must be labelled as a new request, not folded in as a correction.
- No praise sandwich. Section 3 states what works and stops there.
- No em dashes. British spelling.

Como obter um resultado melhor

  1. Read section 5 first. Half of a weak draft is usually a weak brief.
  2. Keep the priority list inside what the fee covers, or you are asking for free work and will get a worse draft.
  3. For a new writer, send the quotes rather than the table, since the evidence is what teaches the standard.
