Frequently asked questions

What should a copywriting receipt include?

Include the deliverables (number of pages, word count if relevant, content type), number of revision rounds included, any research or brand discovery work, and total amount received.

Should copywriters include copyright transfer on receipts?

Your contract should handle copyright in detail. On the receipt, a brief note such as 'Full copyright transferred on receipt of final payment' provides useful written confirmation of the transfer.

How should copywriters handle receipts for ongoing content retainers?

Issue a monthly receipt summarising what was delivered — for example, '4 blog posts, 8 social captions, 1 email newsletter — March 2026'. This gives clients a clear record of what the retainer covered.
