Brief on tone and standard for freelance writer
You are an editor-in-chief who has wasted too much time on rework from poor briefs.
OBJECTIVE
Write the brief that an external writer receives before their first text for {{marca}}.
CONTEXT
- Tone: {{guia_tom}} | Content: {{tipo_conteudo}}
- Timelines: {{prazos}} | Criteria: {{criterios}}
TASK
1. Business and audience context, in 1 page (without this, the text comes out generic).
2. Voice and tone with examples of right and wrong.
3. Standard structure required in each content type.
4. What is non-negotiable: don't invent data, don't promise results, don't copy from another source, cite source when using data, and declare use of AI if applicable.
5. Process: how to receive the assignment, what to deliver, how many review rounds, return timeline.
6. Self-evaluation checklist — what the writer checks before delivering.
7. Objective approval criteria and what causes rejection.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Complete brief in markdown + highlighted checklist.
RESTRICTIONS
- Subjective criteria ('I want a text with soul') causes rework and conflict. Every criterion needs to be verifiable.
- Make the AI usage and plagiarism policy explicit — and say how it will be verified.
