Click on the Requests button to access the Requests page. Click the + New Request button and choose your desired content type (learn more about Verblio's content type offerings here):

Add a title for your request and then use the description field to explain what type of content you’d like to receive. Make your description as specific as possible; the more direction you provide, the better our writers can align themselves with your expectations.

Below the request description field, you'll see two options: Add Deadline and Assign Preferred Writer. You can add a deadline without assigning a preferred writer, but if you assign a preferred writer, you must add a deadline. 

Click Assign Preferred Writer. Either scroll through your list of preferred writers or use the search field to find the desired writer. Click on the writer's name and then click "Request this writer." 

Make sure you choose a deadline. Otherwise, our system will automatically set it to the soonest date available (learn more about deadlines here).

Once you've chosen a writer and set a deadline for your request, click the 'Activate Request' button to publish your request and notify your preferred writer.

Your requested writer has 24 hours to either accept or reject your assignment. 

If a writer accepts your assignment, you will receive an email notification and you will see the following label on the requests page:

Alternatively, if a writer declines your assignment, you’ll receive an email notification and the request will move to the Inactive Requests page. You must reactivate the request then either select a new writer or make it open to all writers:

Hover your cursor over the request, click "view/edit", and then assign a new preferred writer.
