4 steps to creating a screenwriter job description that fits your needs

Now it’s time for you to write your screenwriter job description. It can be helpful to brainstorm a list of all of the responsibilities a screenwriter will hold in your company. Then, think about the skills and experience necessary for those responsibilities. By making these lists, you’ll have a better idea of the candidate you’re looking for, and you’ll have written part of the job description.

The following steps will guide you through the rest of the process.

1. Determine what type of screenwriter you need

When writing screenplays, writers often develop specialties. It’s important to consider the type of screenwriter you need before starting the hiring process. For example, television writers may specialize in fast turnarounds and short, concise episodes that pack a punch and tell a cohesive story. Those with a screenwriter career in the film industry specialize in longer projects and create scripts for motion pictures. Screenwriters may also work in companies and businesses, developing scripts for corporate projects like promotional videos.

It’s often best to work with a screenwriter who has experience crafting the specific deliverables your business needs, whether that’s a TV episode or movie script.

2. Employee vs. independent contractor vs. agency

You can hire a full-time screenwriter in-house, contract with one through an agency, or work with a screenwriter who is operating as an independent contractor. The option that’s right for you will depend on your business structure and the amount and type of work you have.

If you’re planning to hire a writer in-house, you’ll need a more extensive or ongoing project with higher volume to sustain that arrangement. An independent contractor arrangement is often more flexible and might be an ideal choice if you’re bringing on a writer for a few episodes or a short-term project with minimal hours.

Worker classification can be tricky, so check out our compliance services resources page for more information and be sure to discuss any questions with your business lawyer.

3. Experience

You’ll also want to determine how much experience an ideal candidate will have. Highly experienced screenwriters can often step into more complex projects and get up to speed quickly, while screenwriters with less experience may need more time and guidance. Keep in mind that more experienced screenwriters typically charge higher rates, though. Your project scope and budget will factor into the amount of experience your ideal candidate should have.

4. Industry

Screenwriters work across multiple industries. Some focus entirely on the entertainment industry, while others might write scripts for businesses and develop promotional projects for industrial use, like video projects highlighting a company’s products and services. Each of these industries require slightly different skills and bring different experiences, so it’s best to look for a screenwriter who specializes within your business’ industry.

Next steps

Once you’ve written your screenwriter job description, check out our list of top screenwriters on Upwork. Each writer’s qualifications and experience are clearly listed, so you can quickly browse through their profiles and identify which candidates are the right fit for your business or project.

Hello, and welcome to my profile page! ⭐ Consistently top-rated 🥇 90%+ Job success rate 📆 10+ years of experience 1️⃣ Clients on 1st page of Google 👻 Ghostwriter for the CEO of Vogue, VCs, Y Combinator startups, and other industry leaders. 🧑🏻‍🎓 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗠𝗘 I am an award-winning writer with experience in radio, television, film, and digital publishing. From ideation to execution, I love crafting compelling copy to help you reach your professional goals. Whether it's a TVC, SEO blog post, script, or article, I'll ensure it delivers a clear, actionable message. ✍🏻 𝗦𝗘𝗢 𝗕𝗟𝗢𝗚𝗦 Need high-quality, informative content that commands attention? Having written for both B2B and B2C audiences, I can communicate complex ideas clearly and persuasively. Allow me to help you create a distinct brand voice that speaks to your clients and customers. 👻 𝗚𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗪𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 Want to establish yourself as a thought leader? As an expert, your time is precious. Let me shape your powerful insights into valuable content that positions you as a respected and sought-after authority. 🌐 𝗪𝗘𝗕𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗣𝗬 Can't find the right words for your website? I'll craft strategic calls-to-action and user-focused language that represent your brand and boost conversions, transforming your site into a powerful marketing tool. 📜 𝗝𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗠 & 𝗔𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗖/𝗟𝗘𝗚𝗔𝗟 𝗪𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 Do you require factual, in-depth articles? As an award-winning journalist with experience working at a digital publication, I can quickly write factual content and opinion pieces. 🎥 𝗩𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗢 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗙𝗜𝗟𝗠 𝗦𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗣𝗧𝗦 Many clients struggle to transfer their ideas into video format because they need a writer to summarize their points succinctly in a style that packs a punch. Whether it's through radio, podcast, and TV commercials or explainer videos and online courses, I'll ensure your message is effectively communicated to your intended audience on both traditional and digital channels. 🏆 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗦 • Business and Arts South Africa Silver Award for Journalism in the News Category (2016) 📝 𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗜 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 I work on both one-off and long-term collaborations with clients. For long-term collaborations, I request clients: • Agree to a set volume of work per week/month: This ensures I can plan my schedule and dedicate the time needed to deliver work everyone is proud of. • Give notice: Let me know a month in advance if you wish to end our contract. Again, this helps me plan my workflow. And if, for whatever reason, you need to pause the project, pop me a message. I have clients who work with me on an ad-hoc basis. It's much easier to reschedule projects when I know what's up. • Don't ghost: If we've started a contract, but you no longer wish to work with me, please let me know. If I cannot reach you after contacting you three times, I will presume you wish to terminate our contract and do so. Robust communication and clear deadlines allow me to do my best work for you. 👀 𝗔 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗘 𝗢𝗡 𝗔𝗜 Currently, there are two approaches to AI: cost-cutting and Google-flagging fears. As a writer with over ten years of experience, I've recently explored "humanizing AI." Here's my take: ORIGINALITY AI-generated content lacks the nuance, brevity, and creativity of a seasoned copywriter. Right now, this may not be true for one or two blog posts or even ten pieces of content you need. However, as more people use AI over the long term, content homogenization will become a huge risk. Do you really want your marketing materials to sound like 90% of the internet's? HUMANIZING AI I can edit your AI copy, but I charge standard rates. From experience, extensively editing AI-generated content to make it sound human is more time-consuming and ultimately less efficient than starting fresh. Plus, if the writing is technical, I have to fact-check everything since AI isn't always accurate. Hiring a human writer to craft your content is the best option if you want engaging copy. If you're paying a flat fee for content, which I prefer, then know it's in my best interest to do the work as efficiently as possible. Clear, well-written human copy also minimizes editing time, which saves clients money. AI DETECTION SOFTWARE I'm happy to work with your preferred program, but clear, concise language - often the goal of good communication - can be misidentified as AI. It's happened to me in the past. After all, there are only so many ways you can say, "The cat sat on the mat." Through a case-by-case approach, I ensure your content connects with audiences through compelling storytelling, whether or not you use AI. 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗦 𝗧𝗢 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪 • My rates reflect a commitment to premium content that drives results. • I have a strong track record of writing content for UK, USA, and Canadian clients. • I only do paid test assignments. Sample writing requires the same effort as the real thing.

Hi, I'm a TOP RATED ★ Los Angeles-based voice-over actor and award-winning screenwriter/director. Specializing in articulate and unique narration for movie trailers, explainer videos, radio & TV ads, video game characters, voicemail greetings, YouTube channels and more. ✨ ""If you need a big voice then Jermey's is your man." ✨ ✨ ""Brilliant talent and pleasure to work with... went above and beyond." ✨ ✨"...A talented, professional voice-over actor. I've enjoyed working with him."✨ VOICE-OVER: Recorded at a state-of-the-art at-home recording studio. My unique voice with its deep bass sound is guaranteed to make any project stand out! All jobs include at least one (1) round of changes at no additional cost. Oftentimes, numerous minor change sessions are not a problem and are not billed either. Visit my voice-over reel on Youtube here: youtu.be/s9intmUB60I SCREENWRITING: My experience ranges from writing/directing short and feature films, serving as an intern at Ghosthouse Pictures (Sam Raimi's production company) providing script coverage, notes and feedback, working closely with the head of development. In addition, I've also studied screenwriting at the university level and collaborated with writers on their screenplays. I specialize in story structure, dialogue, and project feasibility, working with writers to bring their stories to life in a way that connects deeply with audiences. I'm great at collaborating with writers that have little to no experience putting together their projects. I pride myself on looking at projects from more than one angle, having worked many positions on films, including Director, Screenwriter, Producer, and Assistant Director. This means I understand more than just narratives, characters, plots, and dialogue; I understand target audiences and critical reactions. All of these things combined give any project the best chance to be successful. Check me out on IMDB under "Jermey Ashley Pair" to see a list of past and current projects I've worked on. When it comes to cost, I prefer a flat fee rather than an hourly rate. This way you know exactly how much your project will cost and we can focus on making it great without worrying about the clock.

I may be a top-rated plus Comedy Writer and copywriter with 15+ years of experience, but still, my greatest achievement was winning an argument with my wife one time. Hey. I'm Adrian. I write content that sells. Content that addresses pain points and converts. Content that will get your target audience to laugh. Because humor, when done right, connects and drives results. Notable clients include: General Electric, BBDO NY, Procter & Gamble, Love Island/ITV Studios, Gala Games, Eaton Corporation, Funko Inc., LesserEvil, PeaTos, and so much more. As a COMEDY WRITER (and recovering stand-up comedian), I'll write or punch up your material so that it's dangerously funny. Screenplays, animated series, episodic series, sketches, stand-up, roasts, video game scripts, comics, plays, and more.

Welcome to your one stop sho... Scratch that, one stop shops are just code for "Come in and take a look around! Everything in here is just meh." Here are the things I do well: 1. Scriptwriting (screenplays, sketches, educational scripts, marketing scripts, etc.) 2. Comedy Writing (broad comedy, satire, snark-filled tirades, etc.) 3. Education Documentation (lesson plans, curriculum, etc.) With all that being said, my main goal is to produce quality work for you. If interviewed, you can expect me to ask a ton of project-specific questions right away. It is super important for me to develop a comprehensive understanding of your needs from all angles, so I like to delve deep before digging into the work. You should also know that I'm quite a stickler for deadlines. Something like a full-length screenplay script will take a lot longer than a short explainer video script, so I like to have a very clear idea of when you need the material delivered. It's beneficial for you, but it also allows my bed to know when I'll come home to rest. It gets jealous seeing me spend lots of late nights at my desk.

I have been working as a professional screenwriter the past two decades. During this time, more than a dozen of my screenplays have been purchased and produced, from theatrical features ("Mail Order Monster," "The Sex Trip") and TV movies ("The Christmas Chalet," "All I Want for Christmas") to web series ("Soccer & Drinks"), commercials (eHow) and other short-form content. I am represented in Hollywood by a major talent agency (Zero Gravity Management) and have been hired to write scripts numerous Hollywood A-Listers, from director Sam Raimi to actor Ashton Kutcher. If you'd like a novel faithfully adapted for the screen, if you have an amazing idea for a movie or TV show but you're not sure how to bring it to life, or if you already have a script but would like it to be leveled-up, I would be thrilled to work with you to create a screenplay that will stand out from the crowd in Hollywood.

A great idea is only valuable once people can see it, feel it, fund it, watch it, or buy it. That’s where I come in. I’m Alex Morsanutto, an award-winning writer, director, producer, screenwriter, and founder of Silvermine Productions. I help filmmakers, founders, brands, production companies, and startups turn ideas into scripts, pitch decks, commercials, branded films, crowdfunding videos, and production-ready creative packages. My background sits at the intersection of film development, TV development, screenwriting, creative producing, and commercial video production. I can help bring a movie, TV pilot, limited series, or documentary concept to life — while also bringing that same cinematic storytelling, production discipline, and audience-first thinking to brand videos, product videos, YouTube scripts, social ads, Kickstarter campaigns, and short-form content. Most recently, I wrote, directed, and produced Dark Skulls, a Viking psychological thriller feature film shot in Norway with an international cast and crew. I also produced TRAPPED, which won a Special Jury Award at SXSW, and Scent of Pho, a feature film with a worldwide release approaching $2M in gross. On the commercial side, I’ve created video content for brands including Unilever, Mastercard, Chevrolet, Zenni, Kiehl’s, Brother, and The Atlantic. My work has lived across broadcast commercials, digital campaigns, branded content, social media, documentary shorts, crowdfunding campaigns, film festivals, and narrative platforms. What makes me useful is that I don’t just write the thing. I understand how to build the thing. I can help shape the concept, sharpen the hook, structure the story, write the script, develop the pitch, think through production realities, and make sure the idea feels clear, compelling, cinematic, and actually executable. I can help with: Feature film development TV pilots, limited series, and scripted series concepts Screenplays, treatments, outlines, script rewrites, and dialogue polish Series bibles, pitch decks, loglines, synopses, and investor-facing materials Commercial scripts, brand films, branded content, and product videos YouTube scripts, short-form video concepts, social ads, and high-retention hooks Kickstarter videos, crowdfunding campaigns, and launch videos Creative producing, story consulting, and production strategy Full-service video production from concept through delivery If you have a film, show, brand, product, true story, campaign, or half-formed idea that needs to become real, I can help turn it into something people understand, remember, and want to watch. I don’t just make videos. I help build the story, the package, and the path to bring it to life. I’ve worked internationally across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, and I’m comfortable jumping into projects at any stage. I prefer to work on a flat-fee basis with 50% upfront and 50% on delivery. If you want something sharp, cinematic, and actually effective, let’s talk.

I’m a video producer, editor, and copywriter who helps brands, startups, and B2B companies create high-performing social and marketing videos for LinkedIn, Instagram, websites, and sales teams — including short-form clips, testimonials, explainers, and brand films. I bring 15+ years of experience writing, producing, and editing content for HBO, Discovery, and Apple TV, along with major brands like Mattel, Verizon, and McDonald’s, delivering broadcast-level storytelling for commercial video. My background in television, streaming, and feature film production allows me to apply cinematic pacing, structure, and narrative clarity to brand videos, ads, explainers, testimonials, and social campaigns designed to capture attention and drive results. I run a full-service video production and content marketing studio working with brands, SaaS companies, startups, and nonprofits to produce video ads, social content, testimonials, pitch videos, and written copy that supports sales, marketing, and growth teams. Clients hire me when they want polished, professional content that combines editorial storytelling with marketing strategy — not generic freelancer output. I also offer script development, screenplay coverage, and story consulting for brands, studios, and creators who need clear structure, character, and narrative flow for narrative, branded, or long-form video projects.
