Contracts Kit
Contracts for copywriters

The contracts every copywriter should have

Copywriters get squeezed by endless revisions and projects that die after the draft — your words ship value the moment they're read. The Contracts Kit gives you plain-English templates built for exactly this — read every word before you decide, then own all 15 for a one-time $49.

The risk you carry

Writing is easy to 'just tweak' forever, and easy to walk away from after a draft is delivered. A contract caps revisions, sets a kill fee for cancelled projects, and keeps your draft from being used before payment.

The templates a copywriter actually needs

Each is written in plain English and ready to use. Click any one to read the full document before you buy.

Client Services Agreement

Sets the fee, revision rounds, deadlines, and the kill fee that pays you when a project is cancelled after work starts.

Statement of Work

Defines word count, pieces, and tone per project, so 'can you also write the emails' is a new paid scope.

IP Assignment Agreement

Transfers rights to the copy on full payment — so an unpaid draft can't simply be published.

Late Payment Demand Letter

A firm, ready follow-up for the invoice that lingers after delivery.

Unlimited revisions, turning a flat fee into hourly work at a fraction of the rate.
Letting drafts get used before the final payment clears.

Frequently asked

What's a kill fee and do I need one?

A kill fee is an agreed payment if the client cancels after work has begun. It protects the hours you've already invested. The Client Services Agreement in the kit includes a kill-fee clause written in plain English.

How do I stop endless revisions?

Cap them in writing. The Statement of Work sets how many revision rounds the fee covers; anything beyond becomes a paid change, which keeps a flat project from turning into unpaid hourly work.
