Script Writer for Sitcom Style Graphic Novel
Only freelancers located in the U.S. may apply.U.S. located freelancers only
I'm developing Float On, a sitcom-style graphic novel series — think Heartstopper or Check Please in form, with the tone and rhythm of Friends or New Girl. It's a planned multi-volume series, and I'm currently developing book one: a 10-chapter ensemble found-family story set in the DMV, centered on an autistic archivist and the half-sister who shows up on his doorstep. The cast, character arcs, and overall structure are fully built. The chapter outlines are partially done — some are tight, others still need development. I'm looking for a script writer to collaborate on finishing the outline and developing chapter-by-chapter scripts (panel descriptions, dialogue, pacing). The world and characters are set; I need a co-creative partner to help land the structure and write to it. You're a fit if: - You've written comic or graphic novel scripts before (please share samples) - You understand sitcom pacing, ensemble comedy, and how comedic timing translates to panel structure - You can write dry, character-driven, conversational humor - You're comfortable both finishing existing outlines and writing to them The project: - Book one of a planned multi-volume series - Slice-of-life, queer, neurodivergent, ensemble found-family - Tone: warm and funny, grounded not broad, real emotional stakes underneath the comedy Please send samples of comic scripts you've written and a few sentences on what draws you to this kind of project.
