About the Project We are a confidential wellness platform developing a premium video course designed to help people quit smoking and vaping (permanently) without willpower, patches, or medication. The method is rooted in cognitive reframing and behavioral psychology, and the course will be filmed with a professional spokesperson reading from a teleprompter. We have a complete, professionally written script approximately 25,000 words across five modules that has already been reviewed by a licensed therapist and behavioral health consultant. The core content is strong. What we need now is a skilled editor who can sharpen the language for on-camera delivery, improve relatability for a Gen Z and Millennial audience, and enhance the visual storytelling concepts embedded throughout. This project requires signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before any materials are shared. The platform name and full concept will not be disclosed until the NDA is executed. What You Will Be Doing You will receive the full script and be asked to: 1. Edit for teleprompter and on-camera delivery. The script will be read aloud by a spokesperson on camera. Language needs to flow naturally when spoken, not just when read. Sentences that are too long, too complex, or that create awkward pauses on camera need to be restructured. You should have a strong instinct for the difference between writing that reads well and writing that sounds well. 2. Rephrase and tighten language so it resonates naturally with a 16–35 year old audience without losing the authority and clinical grounding of the original. The tone should feel like a trusted, intelligent peer — not a health campaign, not a lecture, not a brand voice. 3. Improve or replace visual concept examples throughout the script. The script contains detailed suggestions for on-screen graphics, metaphors, and visual demonstrations. Your job is to evaluate each one and suggest alternatives that are more culturally current, more vivid, or more likely to land with a younger viewer who grew up on TikTok, YouTube, and short-form content. 4. Flag any language that feels dated, clinical, or out of touch with how young people actually talk about addiction, vaping, mental health, and identity. Suggest replacements. 5. Preserve the psychological architecture. The script follows a specific reframing methodology. You are not rewriting the method — you are improving the delivery. The logic, sequence, and therapeutic intent must remain intact. Ideal Candidate Profile You are a strong fit for this project if you: • Write and edit exceptionally well, with a clear instinct for how language sounds when spoken aloud • Have experience writing or editing scripts for teleprompter, on-camera talent, or video production • Understand how Gen Z and younger Millennials talk about mental health, habits, identity, and self-improvement • Have experience writing for or about addiction, behavioral change, wellness, or lifestyle topics • Are familiar with short-form content culture (TikTok, Reels, YouTube) and understand what makes concepts land visually for this demographic • Can work with nuance, this is not surface-level copywriting; the script has psychological depth and the edits must honor that Bonus if you have: • Experience writing for documentary, educational video, or long-form branded content • A background in psychology, behavioral health, or addiction counseling • Familiarity with the Allen Carr Easyway method or similar behavioral change frameworks • Experience writing for health and wellness brands targeting young adults Looking to get started right away. Let me know if you feel this is a good fit and why. Thank you.
