Time tracking and invoicing for writers and editors

Keep every commission, edit and rewrite on the clock, bill a fixed fee or an hourly rate, and send a clean invoice when the piece is filed. Free for one person.

Every piece, its own project

An article, a manuscript or a monthly retainer: each is a project with its own rate or fee.

Fixed fee or hourly

Bill a commissioned piece at a fixed fee and an editing job by the hour, from the same desk.

Short tasks count

A ten-minute fact check or a quick round of edits is worth recording. Round to 15 minutes if you have agreed it with the client.

Invoices that get paid

Your tax, terms and payment details on every invoice, and overdue ones flag themselves.

See what a word rate really pays

If you quote per word, put the total on a fixed-price project and track the hours. Reports then show what the piece paid per hour, which is how you know whether that rate is worth taking again.

Clients in other countries

Each invoice can be in its own currency, chosen from every ISO 4217 code, and Reports state mixed currencies in the one you pick.

Nothing between you and your editor

Involets does not email invoices or take payments. The invoice comes from you, and the money goes straight to you.
