Why it existed
The guide gave new writers one place to understand how work moved through the team instead of relying on repeated verbal explanations.
How work was assigned
Writers received article topics and briefings through the team’s task tracker. The task details sat beside the assignment so the writer could see what was required before starting.
Deadlines
Each task came with a deadline. Where a deadline was not explicitly attached, the guide set a default turnaround expectation and required writers to flag potential delays early.
Submission
Completed drafts were submitted as editable Google Docs links in the tracker after the writer completed the required sharing and pre-submission checks.
Working from a brief
The briefing contained the task requirements. Writers were expected to follow it closely and ask a supervisor before making material changes to the direction.
Pre-submission QA
- Readability and sentence-length checks
- Grammar and proofreading
- Plagiarism checks
- American English spelling
- Formatting and title-case consistency
Performance expectations
The guide also documented that repeated missed deadlines, failure to follow briefings or feedback, plagiarism and consistently poor-quality writing could lead to performance action.
