FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do freelance writers charge?

Per word, per article or per hour. Per-word rates are common for articles, fixed prices for regular pieces, and hourly rates for editing or research.

Should a writer's invoice list each article?

Yes. A line per piece with its title lets the editor match the invoice to what was delivered or published.

When should writers send their invoice?

On delivery for one-off pieces, or once a month for regular clients. Monthly invoices with a line per piece keep things simple for both sides.
