Sample Invoice for Your Freelance Writing Clients
Freelance Writers Need to
Invoice Their Writing Clients
It's just good business to invoice most
of your writing clients. Exceptions may be when a client is paying you
on a regular basis. But it never hurts to invoice.
When you invoice for your freelance
writing and/or editing, you want to include:
- The complete contact information for the
person/company you're billing
- Your complete contact information
- Enough detail so the person you're billing
recognizes what was done
- The total
An invoice should look something like this:

Tips
-
Make up a blank invoice and save it. When it's time to invoice
open that file and use save as with your client's name, then just fill it in and
you're all set. I include the date sent in the file name.
-
Make a note in your calendar about when you expect to receive
payment... that way, if it doesn't come, you can
take action.
