What are your recommendations for weather and where to higher writers or to go with AI writing and then hiring editors to adapt and edit the text? Where and how to pick them. I have 2 books researched. Nonfiction. I do not write. But happy to hire contractors, in US or Abroad. There are contracting sites in my native language that can hire to write books. It's always hard to determine ones ability on contracting sites though. Please give advise arguing for different options.

Hi there, I want to write a how-to book about how to best use a companies software product. I want to take a deep dive into how to best use this product as a way to drive traffic to a my business as a contractor and consultant for organizations using that product. I’m having trouble finding out if I need their permission. I’d like to use screenshots of their software and those screenshots may include their name and logos. The title would include their company and product name and the text will certainly reference both. What do I need to know/learn here? Maybe I just need to reach out for authorization. Do I do that first? I’d hate yo put time into a book to be denied permission. Thanks for your thoughts!
