Editorial services: order copywriting, translation, proofreading

Editorial services are copywriting, translations and proofreading provided by copywriters, translators and proofreaders from the catalog of services. You order them just like websites: pick a service in the catalog, add it to the cart with the number of standard pages, fill in the brief and pay at the checkout. You can also order a text from a copywriter directly for publication on a selected website, in the purchase window of the catalog of websites by choosing "Written by a copywriter".

The order brief is visible only to the copywriter you have selected.

Filtering the catalog of services

You will find the filters in the horizontal panel above the table of copywriters (not in the left menu). The left menu is only used for navigation between the sections of the administration.

The filter offers you:

• Search - full-text search by the copywriter's name or by the description of their experience.
• Type of service, Language, Target language - multi-select (click and tick what you want to display).
• Price per standard page from-to - a range filter in the currency of your account. The label contains a tooltip with the real range of prices in the database.
• Quick filters (presets) - a single click sets: Up to 250 CZK / standard page, Up to 500 CZK / standard page (in euros analogously Up to 10 €, Up to 20 €) or the type of service Writing / Translation / Proofreading. Presets are additive: they are added to the existing filters and do not delete them.
• Favourites - you can give a star to any copywriter in the catalog and then quickly filter only the favourites.
• Purchased - displays the copywriters from whom you have already ordered something.

The "Target language" field is displayed only if you have selected Translation in the type of service. It is not displayed and not applied for article writing and proofreading.

Above the results table, the active filters are shown as "chips". Clicking the cross on an individual chip removes that filter without you having to clear the others. The Clear filters button on the right-hand side of the panel removes all filters at once.

Reporting a problem or asking about a service

Just like in the catalog of websites, every editorial service in the catalog has a small flag icon in the first column. It is used to report a problem (an unclear description, a suspicious price) or to ask any question about the service: click the flag, choose a reason and write a short message. We check every report and answer questions by e-mail.

Adding a service to the cart and the brief

With the selected copywriter, enter the number of standard pages (1 standard page = 1,800 characters including spaces) and click "Add to cart". The price is given by the copywriter's rate per standard page and cannot be negotiated.

In the cart, in the "Order brief" block, fill in what you need: who the text is for, the topic, the main points, the tone of voice and, for a translation, the source text or a link to it. For editorial services the brief is mandatory. You attach your materials (PDF, DOC, TXT) in the cart as attachments. You can place one order with several copywriters at once; the brief applies to all items in the cart. The checkout procedure is described in the guide How to order: cart and checkout.

What happens after payment

The copywriter has 3 days to accept the order, otherwise the deal is cancelled and the amount is returned to your wallet. After accepting it, they deliver the text, usually within 3 to 5 days. You can see the delivered text in the deal detail, where you can write comments for revision; the copywriter receives every message by e-mail. Once you approve the text, the deal is completed and paid out to the copywriter. If you neither approve nor comment on the draft within 3 days of the last communication, a PR Yard reviewer will check it.

You will find the finished text in the deal detail and in the order detail. Completed orders move themselves to the "Order archive" in the left menu.
