Think about the scroll you want to use.
Discuss the script and the format of the written scroll. A sample can help clarify the style and layout you prefer. Mention dimensions or finishing details that are important to you rather than assuming every megillah is made to the same specification.
If you are replacing a scroll or trying to match an existing holder, include those details in the conversation. Any accessories and their fit should be agreed separately as part of the specification.
Plan around the date you need it.
If you are ordering for Purim, begin with your intended delivery date. Writing, checks, corrections where needed and finishing all need to fit within the agreed schedule.
- Preferred script and a writing sample, if you have one.
- Scroll dimensions, layout and finishing.
- The proofreading and documentation included.
- The required date and what is included in the price.
