Copywriter Invoice Template

A copywriter invoice documents writing services including blog posts, web copy, ad copy, editing rounds, and content strategy. Generate professional copywriting invoices with NetInvoice's free template for freelance writers and content creators.

Why this invoice template matters

Writing is often undervalued because clients don't see the research, drafting, and editing involved. Clear invoices separate research time from writing, show revision rounds, and document word counts or project scope. This helps clients understand why professional copy costs more than content mills and protects writers from endless revisions. Good invoicing also makes it easy to track which types of content are most profitable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do copywriters charge for their work?
Copywriters charge per word ($0.10-$1.00), per project ($200-$5,000+), or hourly ($50-$200/hr). Per-project pricing works best for defined scope, while hourly suits ongoing content work.
Should copywriting invoices separate research from writing?
Yes, showing research and strategy separately demonstrates the expertise involved beyond typing words. This justifies higher rates and educates clients on the full process.
How do you invoice for revisions?
Include 1-2 rounds of revisions in your base price, then charge hourly for additional changes. Define revisions clearly: comprehensive edits, not endless small tweaks.
Should copywriters specify usage rights on invoices?
Yes, note usage rights clearly: exclusive vs non-exclusive, web only vs all media, perpetual vs time-limited. This protects your work and sets clear expectations.
