Summary

We are looking for a talented YouTube script writer for our channel IF Theory, a storytelling/educational channel focused on “what if” scenarios, alternate history, culture, society, politics, economics, and deep thought-provoking topics. We need someone who can write high-quality, original, non-AI generated scripts that feel engaging, natural, and built for YouTube retention. The scripts must be structured in a way that keeps viewers watching from the first few seconds until the end. This can become a long-term project, but we will start with 5 scripts first to test quality, style, communication, and consistency. The scripts must be: 100% original and not AI-generated Written in a strong YouTube storytelling style Monetization-friendly and safe for YouTube guidelines Structured with a strong hook, smooth pacing, and engaging transitions SEO-focused with searchable titles, keywords, and strong topic framing Easy to turn into clips for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels Written in a way that supports visuals, edits, and narration Informative but not boring or overly academic Dramatic and interesting without being misleading Our channel style is cinematic, thought-provoking, and built around questions like: “What if this never happened?” “What if history went differently?” “What if one person never made one decision?” We want scripts that feel like a mix of storytelling, documentary, and viral YouTube pacing. The writer should understand how to write for audience retention, emotional curiosity, and shareable moments. For each script, we would like: Strong clickable title ideas SEO keywords/topic angle Full YouTube script Hook in the first 10–15 seconds Clear sections for pacing Clip-worthy moments that can be used for Shorts/Reels Monetization-safe wording when covering sensitive topics Please apply with: Examples of previous YouTube scripts Experience with storytelling or documentary-style videos Your turnaround time for 5 scripts Your rate per script or for the full 5-script package Confirmation that the scripts will be written manually and not generated by AI We are looking for someone reliable, creative, and able to grow with the channel long term.
