Summary

# YouTube Mini-Documentary Scriptwriter — Dog Stories We’re looking for a talented **YouTube scriptwriter/storyteller** for an established dog YouTube channel. We’re shifting from traditional breed content toward **high-quality, 10–15 minute mini-documentaries** built around fascinating, emotional true stories about dogs. Topics could include: * Dogs who saved lives * Incredible survival or rescue stories * Military, police, and service dogs * Famous dogs from history * Remarkable loyalty and homecoming stories * Other true dog stories with strong emotional appeal ## What We're Looking For This is **storytelling, not generic informational content**. Scripts should have: * A strong opening hook * Excellent pacing and curiosity * Emotional storytelling * Accurate research and sources * Tension that keeps viewers wondering what happens next * A satisfying payoff Videos will largely be created using stock footage, photos, and graphics, so **the story and script need to carry the video**. ## Long-Term Opportunity We’re building a small production team and want a writer who could become our **long-term lead storyteller**. We value quality over quantity. We’ll hire several promising applicants for a **short paid test** before selecting our ongoing writer. When applying, please include: 1. Examples of documentary-style or YouTube scripts you've written 2. Your price for a 10–15 minute script 3. Typical turnaround time 4. **Three dog-story ideas** you think would make great mini-documentaries Please begin your application with **“DOG STORY”** so we know you read the posting. If you know how to make a viewer think, **“I have to know what happens next,”** we'd love to hear from you.
