What should a copywriting invoice include?

A copywriting invoice should list each deliverable by type — sales page, landing page, email sequence, ad copy set, brand voice guide — with the scope defined (e.g., “5-email welcome sequence, ~300 words each”). Include the number of revision rounds covered in the base price and your rush delivery surcharge if applicable. Most copywriters use project-based pricing rather than per-word rates, billing 50% on acceptance of the brief and 50% on delivery of the first draft.

Frequently asked questions

Should copywriters charge per word or per project?
Per-project pricing is strongly preferred in professional copywriting because it aligns your fee with the value of the deliverable, not its length. A 50-word headline can be worth more than a 2,000-word blog post. Quote based on the deliverable type, complexity, and the research involved.
How do I handle rush delivery fees on a copywriting invoice?
Add a rush surcharge as a separate line item, typically 25–50% above your standard rate. Clearly define what “rush” means in your terms (e.g., delivery within 48 hours vs. standard 5–7 business days). Having this as a published policy makes it easy to enforce without negotiation.
When should I send my copywriting invoice?
Invoice 50% upon signing the project brief and 50% when you deliver the first draft (not after final revisions). This protects your time and ensures the client is invested before you start writing. For retainer clients, invoice monthly at the start of the billing period.
How many revisions should a copywriting invoice include?
One to two rounds of revisions is standard. Include them in your base price and bill additional rounds as separate line items. Define what counts as a “revision” (feedback-based changes) vs. a “new direction” (rewriting from scratch), which should be scoped as a new project.
