YouTube Documentary Script Reviewer & Editor (Audience Retention Expert)

Posted 5 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

I’m looking for an experienced YouTube script reviewer/editor for my long-form documentary channel. I publish 1 video per week, so this will be an ongoing, long-term collaboration if we’re a good fit. The scripts are typically 2,500–4,000 words (15–25 minute videos) and focus on sports documentaries. I’m not looking for someone to write scripts from scratch. Instead, I need someone to thoroughly review each script and improve it where necessary. I’m looking for someone who can: • Analyze the first 30-second hook. • Improve audience retention throughout the script. • Strengthen story structure and pacing. • Add or improve curiosity gaps and cliffhangers. • Increase emotional impact. • Identify repetitive, weak, or unnecessary sections. • Improve clarity, flow, and transitions. • Rewrite any sections that need improvement instead of only explaining what’s wrong. • Make sure the script keeps viewers engaged until the very end. The goal is to maximize viewer retention and create videos that perform well on YouTube. Please only apply if you have experience with long-form YouTube storytelling, documentaries, or retention-focused scripts. When applying, please include: • Examples of YouTube scripts you’ve reviewed or written. • Channels you’ve worked with (if possible). • How you approach improving audience retention. • Your rate per script review. I’m looking for a reliable, long-term partner who can review and improve 1 script every week.
