100% private — this invoice is generated in your browser and never uploaded. Crossbill keeps no copy.
Writers bill in different units — per word, per article, per hour, or a monthly content retainer. Itemize each piece with its rate and quantity (word count or articles), add your terms around drafts, revisions and kill fees, and set clear payment terms with a due date.
For overseas clients, pick their VAT/GST jurisdiction so the right tax fields appear and invoice in their currency. Save repeat clients and keep your history privately on your device — nothing is uploaded, and there's no account or subscription.
Frequently asked questions
- How should writers price an invoice — per word or per hour?
- Per word or per piece is common and predictable for clients; hourly suits research-heavy or editing work. You can list some lines per word and others per hour in the same invoice.
- What's a kill fee and should it be on the invoice?
- A kill fee is a partial payment if a commissioned piece is cancelled. State it in your terms; if invoked, add it as a clearly-labelled line item.
