Excellent article Suzy, thanks!

ps, another variation - we’ve take on someone trained in copywriting to do our social media marketing. Once she’s more familiar with Radar and the issues in our sector, she’ll start doing article writing too,

From what I have heard (and my own experience) the technical orientated marketplaces (ODesk and Elance) are not the best place to find them. Freelancers.net is hit and miss... so where else do you go? Is it worth finding horses for courses or finding one you like and giving them a variety of work?

From grammar, to US spelling, to the biggest problem being the slow slide of ennui... (how many articles can you write about XXX  before you get bored?). I suppose if I were to put a list together of what I look for is: writing quality, spelling and grammar, style (and suitability for the client), responsiveness and thick skin (to feedback)
