This is a great outline - it's very similar to the process I used when I started as a freelance writer. The #1 takeaway here is the billing strategy. I've always required 50% down, and I've never had a single client (in over 15 years) not pay the full bill. Getting that down payment is the best way I've ever found to weed out the clients you really don't want to work with.
