Linear Article Rate Sheet

Linear Article Rate Sheet is built for freelance writers who invoice by article rather than by hour, especially when work varies by word count, research level, and publication usage. The minimalist layout keeps attention on the numbers, which is useful when clients need a straightforward breakdown of each article, draft, and revision. It works well for journalists, bloggers, and content specialists who want a tidy article invoice that is easy to send after publication or approval.

This per-word billing template includes columns for article title, word count, unit rate, research time, and optional editing charges. The PDF format is ideal for quick sharing and consistent presentation across devices. It also gives you room to note licensing terms, content ownership, and rush fees, which is helpful when writing for publishers or brands with different usage expectations. Even without tax fields, the layout remains organized and simple to read.

Customize the rate sheet by inserting your standard price per word, then add separate lines for interviews, source verification, or SEO optimization. If you write in multiple markets, switch the currency label to match the client’s region and keep the totals aligned. You can also create a version for guest posts, listicles, or long-form features. The result is a practical content billing tool that helps writers present work professionally and get paid faster.
