I was given my first assignment to write an article for Seibert Media. Now I am curious if there are tips for a good procedure and criteria for good work.
Thanks for your interest in working with us! The information here should help answer some initial questions about our collaboration.

Seibert Media: Technical Writer Job Brief
What are the first steps?
Your first piece for us will be a test piece. This is so we can all (us as well as you) can evaluate if we’d like to continue working together.
- We will give you a topic and a brief description of that topic.
- We will also outline the context and marketing goal to target your writing more accurately.
- To get a feel for who we are and what we do, many of your questions can be answered by just taking at our existing corporate blog.
- You will get a link to a new Google Doc for your notes, outline, and final draft.
Should there be issues, please ask so that we’re all on the same page.
Helpful Tips
- Take the time to do the research you need.
- Once you have an outline, ping us to see if you’re headed in the right direction.
- Do your own proofreading and use help (Grammarly or similar).
- Don’t worry about unfinished work being shared. We work collaboratively so that we can help each other.
