Freelance Writer invoicing tips

• Name the actual deliverable in each line item ('Blog post: Title') rather than 'Writing services'. Your client's accounts team will thank you.
• If you charge per word, show the word count and rate — the math should be checkable in ten seconds.
• Put your revision policy in the notes ('includes 2 revision rounds; additional rounds $75'). It stops endless rewrites.
• Add a kill fee line to your terms: 50% if the assignment is cancelled after drafting starts. Standard practice in publishing.
