My copywriter is currently hitting 2,100 - 2,500 words over three articles on an average day.

He is employed full time, 7.5 hours a day with a 30 minute lunch break.

Let's say only 6 hours are spent researching and writing: 2,500 words / 360 minutes = 6.9WPM

The content is generally rewritten from brand websites with a little bit of unique content. The content I receive is fairly generic and doesn't say anything more than the source material. No formatting is done and generally I receive very large wall-of-text paragraphs. The content is written in one program and then copy/pasted into word to be delivered.

All keywords to use are provided, as well as ~50 words and phrases related to the topic.

Do you think this WPM rate is fair, or would I expect more from another copywriter?
 
IMO, Let's say if the writer is delivering you the content that is well-researched and unique, then the WPM is fair. In case 2, if the writer is rewriting content from the other websites and it's not 100% unique, you can expect 20 words per minute from your writers.
