Short-Form Script Writer for Storytelling-Format Reels & YouTube Shorts (Ongoing)
Worldwide
I'm looking for a script writer who leads with narrative, not generic tips. The content I need is storytelling-format short-form video: Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts where the hook lands in the first two seconds and the viewer stays because the story pulls them forward, not because of flashy editing. This is not templated content. Every script needs a clear narrative arc, a specific emotional angle, and a structure that earns the watch time. What you'll be writing: Storytelling-format Reels and Shorts scripts (60 to 90 seconds) Hook lines that stop the scroll cold Narrative scripts with a defined emotional beat per section Occasional short YouTube intro scripts for story-driven channels What I need from you: Strong instinct for what makes a reader or viewer feel something in the first line Clean, on-time delivery with minimal back and forth Ability to adapt tone and voice to the brand or channel you're writing for Experience writing across genres or themes, not just one niche Scope: Starting with a batch of 5 scripts. If the quality is there, this becomes a recurring role. To apply: Send one sample script you've written for short-form content. If you have a portfolio of creative or fiction writing that shows your narrative instincts, include that too.
