Freelance Writer invoice FAQ
What should a freelance writing invoice include?
Your name, the client, the pieces delivered (with word count or topic), the rate (per piece, per word, or project), revisions, total, and payment terms. A PO or project reference speeds corporate payment.
Should writers bill per word or per project?
Both are common — per word for volume content, per project/piece for defined work. List each deliverable so the client sees exactly what they’re paying for.
How do I handle revisions on a writing invoice?
Note included revision rounds in the terms; bill extra rounds or out-of-scope rewrites as separate lines.
