It is important that the person you do end up hiring is able to work well, and fast, on their own. You are hiring them to do a job and it should be expected that the job will be done on time. Talk to the person first to try to get a good handle on whether or not they will be the most reliable person that you can give the job to.

Have a look at their previous work to see what their style and technique is really like. This can change from one person to the next as not everyone writes on exactly the same way. So by having a look at what they have accomplished before you hire them, you can decide then whether their own personal style is right for the project that you need them for.

The price for this service will be different for each project. It usually depends on how much work there is to do and how long it will take. It is generally charged either by the hour or by the word, depending on the calligrapher you have hired.
