Frequently asked questions
Per word or per project for writing?
Per word suits volume content; per project suits defined deliverables. invoice44 supports both — bill whichever way you quoted.
How do I charge for revisions?
Include a set number of rounds in the line, then add "Extra revision" lines beyond that at your rate.
Can I bill a retainer?
Yes — add a "Monthly retainer" line for a set output or number of pieces, reissued each month.
What about a kill fee?
Add a "Kill fee" line for work done if a commissioned piece is cancelled, per your agreement.
