Needs to hire 3 Freelancers
Summary

Hello, I am currently looking for scriptwriters for a high-quality true crime documentary channel. This is not bodycam or low-effort content, but long-form, carefully written storytelling. This is a full-time, long-term position. Strong writers will always have consistent work, along with opportunities to grow within the company, take on additional responsibility, and earn higher pay over time. Requirements: Fluency in written English No use of AI when writing scripts Ability to work with very disturbing subject matter A creative mindset capable of building tension and compelling narratives Videos typically range from 30 to 60 minutes or longer, with an expected turnaround time of 10 to 12 days per script. For every script, you will be provided with a detailed research document containing most of the necessary information, allowing you to focus fully on writing rather than spending hours on independent research. This structure is designed so you can put your energy into storytelling and creativity. You do not need to be an experienced true crime scriptwriter. Strong storytelling ability and solid English skills are often sufficient, provided you are able to learn quickly. We are more than willing to train writers up to our standards if we see clear potential. You will be required to study and follow a comprehensive manual that outlines our scriptwriting style. Additionally, you should be able to dedicate at least 4 to 8 hours per day to writing, as anything less will make it difficult to meet deadlines and performance expectations. Compensation ranges from $150 to $300 per video, depending on length. Annual earnings of approximately $4,000 to $6,000 are possible for writers who consistently meet deadlines and quality standards. If you are interested, please read through the attached document. A PC is required to view it properly.
