Template library › Copywriter · Freelancer · 14 days · Firm
For copywriters whose articles or web copy are live but the invoice is overdue.
“The longer and softer you make it the more it reads like you think you're being unreasonable for wanting to get paid.” This one is short and direct, with no “sorry to bother you”.
Seeing your copy live while the invoice is ignored stings. Keep it short: the work is published, it was approved, and payment was due on a date.
Subject: Invoice [INV-123]: [article / copy] published on [date] Hi [Name], I saw [the article / the new homepage copy] went live on [date], glad it's out there. Invoice [INV-123] for [amount] covering that work was due on [due date] and is now 14 days overdue. Could you confirm a payment date? Pay link: [payment link]. Thanks, [Your name]
