Free Speechwriter Service Agreement

You pour eighty hours into a keynote, only for the client's event to tank the day before, leaving your invoice dead in the water. That's real money wasted—not just hours, but the opportunity cost of three other clients you had to turn away.

Pro Contractor Tip

Always mandate a non-negotiable "Kill Fee" so if their political donor pulls funding last minute, your time spent researching and drafting doesn't become charity work.

Why use a written agreement?

Handshake deals are risky. As a Speechwriter, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.
