Let’s say I’m freelancing for two weeks on an hourly rate. It’s a copy assignment for a lot of assets, 2 check ins, and then final delivery. At max I’m maybe writing 5 hours a day, which is more than enough to do a good job. How many hours do you decide to bill them for? 20/week?

Why wouldn’t you bill 25 hours?
You said you were doing 5 hours a day.

I hear ya!

Ask your PM what they have allocated for the assignment(2) to make sure they aren’t shocked when you bill 20 hours.
