4 steps to creating a screenwriter job description that fits your needs

Now it’s time for you to write your screenwriter job description. It can be helpful to brainstorm a list of all of the responsibilities a screenwriter will hold in your company. Then, think about the skills and experience necessary for those responsibilities. By making these lists, you’ll have a better idea of the candidate you’re looking for, and you’ll have written part of the job description.

The following steps will guide you through the rest of the process.

1. Determine what type of screenwriter you need

When writing screenplays, writers often develop specialties. It’s important to consider the type of screenwriter you need before starting the hiring process. For example, television writers may specialize in fast turnarounds and short, concise episodes that pack a punch and tell a cohesive story. Those with a screenwriter career in the film industry specialize in longer projects and create scripts for motion pictures. Screenwriters may also work in companies and businesses, developing scripts for corporate projects like promotional videos.

It’s often best to work with a screenwriter who has experience crafting the specific deliverables your business needs, whether that’s a TV episode or movie script.

2. Employee vs. independent contractor vs. agency

You can hire a full-time screenwriter in-house, contract with one through an agency, or work with a screenwriter who is operating as an independent contractor. The option that’s right for you will depend on your business structure and the amount and type of work you have.

If you’re planning to hire a writer in-house, you’ll need a more extensive or ongoing project with higher volume to sustain that arrangement. An independent contractor arrangement is often more flexible and might be an ideal choice if you’re bringing on a writer for a few episodes or a short-term project with minimal hours.

Worker classification can be tricky, so check out our compliance services resources page for more information and be sure to discuss any questions with your business lawyer.

3. Experience

You’ll also want to determine how much experience an ideal candidate will have. Highly experienced screenwriters can often step into more complex projects and get up to speed quickly, while screenwriters with less experience may need more time and guidance. Keep in mind that more experienced screenwriters typically charge higher rates, though. Your project scope and budget will factor into the amount of experience your ideal candidate should have.

4. Industry

Screenwriters work across multiple industries. Some focus entirely on the entertainment industry, while others might write scripts for businesses and develop promotional projects for industrial use, like video projects highlighting a company’s products and services. Each of these industries require slightly different skills and bring different experiences, so it’s best to look for a screenwriter who specializes within your business’ industry.

Next steps

Once you’ve written your screenwriter job description, check out our list of top screenwriters on Upwork. Each writer’s qualifications and experience are clearly listed, so you can quickly browse through their profiles and identify which candidates are the right fit for your business or project.

From ideation to execution, I love crafting compelling copy to help you reach your professional goals. Whether it's a TVC, SEO blog post, script, or article, I'll ensure it delivers a clear, actionable message. ✍🏻 𝗦𝗘𝗢 𝗕𝗟𝗢𝗚𝗦 Need high-quality, informative content that commands attention? Having written for both B2B and B2C audiences, I can communicate complex ideas clearly and persuasively. Allow me to help you create a distinct brand voice that speaks to your clients and customers. 👻 𝗚𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗪𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 Want to establish yourself as a thought leader? As an expert, your time is precious. Let me shape your powerful insights into valuable content that positions you as a respected and sought-after authority. 🌐 𝗪𝗘𝗕𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗣𝗬 Can't find the right words for your website? I'll craft strategic calls-to-action and user-focused language that represent your brand and boost conversions, transforming your site into a powerful marketing tool. 📜 𝗝𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗠 & 𝗔𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗖/𝗟𝗘𝗚𝗔𝗟 𝗪𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 Do you require factual, in-depth articles? As an award-winning journalist with experience working at a digital publication, I can quickly write factual content and opinion pieces. 🎥 𝗩𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗢 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗙𝗜𝗟𝗠 𝗦𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗣𝗧𝗦 Many clients struggle to transfer their ideas into video format because they need a writer to summarize their points succinctly in a style that packs a punch. Whether it's through radio, podcast, and TV commercials or explainer videos and online courses, I'll ensure your message is effectively communicated to your intended audience on both traditional and digital channels. 🏆 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗦 • Business and Arts South Africa Silver Award for Journalism in the News Category (2016) 📝 𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗜 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 I work on both one-off and long-term collaborations with clients. For long-term collaborations, I request clients: • Agree to a set volume of work per week/month: This ensures I can plan my schedule and dedicate the time needed to deliver work everyone is proud of. • Give notice: Let me know a month in advance if you wish to end our contract. Again, this helps me plan my workflow. And if, for whatever reason, you need to pause the project, pop me a message. I have clients who work with me on an ad-hoc basis. It's much easier to reschedule projects when I know what's up. • Don't ghost: If we've started a contract, but you no longer wish to work with me, please let me know. If I cannot reach you after contacting you three times, I will presume you wish to terminate our contract and do so. Robust communication and clear deadlines allow me to do my best work for you. 👀 𝗔 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗘 𝗢𝗡 𝗔𝗜 Currently, there are two approaches to AI: cost-cutting and Google-flagging fears. As a writer with over ten years of experience, I've recently explored "humanizing AI." Here's my take: ORIGINALITY AI-generated content lacks the nuance, brevity, and creativity of a seasoned copywriter. Right now, this may not be true for one or two blog posts or even ten pieces of content you need. However, as more people use AI over the long term, content homogenization will become a huge risk. Do you really want your marketing materials to sound like 90% of the internet's? HUMANIZING AI I can edit your AI copy, but I charge standard rates. From experience, extensively editing AI-generated content to make it sound human is more time-consuming and ultimately less efficient than starting fresh. Plus, if the writing is technical, I have to fact-check everything since AI isn't always accurate. Hiring a human writer to craft your content is the best option if you want engaging copy. If you're paying a flat fee for content, which I prefer, then know it's in my best interest to do the work as efficiently as possible. Clear, well-written human copy also minimizes editing time, which saves clients money. AI DETECTION SOFTWARE I'm happy to work with your preferred program, but clear, concise language - often the goal of good communication - can be misidentified as AI. It's happened to me in the past. After all, there are only so many ways you can say, "The cat sat on the mat." Through a case-by-case approach, I ensure your content connects with audiences through compelling storytelling, whether or not you use AI. 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗦 𝗧𝗢 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪 • My rates reflect a commitment to premium content that drives results. • I have a strong track record of writing content for UK, USA, and Canadian clients. • I only do paid test assignments. Sample writing requires the same effort as the real thing.

Visit my voice-over reel on Youtube here: youtu.be/s9intmUB60I SCREENWRITING: My experience ranges from writing/directing short and feature films, serving as an intern at Ghosthouse Pictures (Sam Raimi's production company) providing script coverage, notes and feedback, working closely with the head of development. In addition, I've also studied screenwriting at the university level and collaborated with writers on their screenplays. I specialize in story structure, dialogue, and project feasibility, working with writers to bring their stories to life in a way that connects deeply with audiences. I'm great at collaborating with writers that have little to no experience putting together their projects. I pride myself on looking at projects from more than one angle, having worked many positions on films, including Director, Screenwriter, Producer, and Assistant Director. This means I understand more than just narratives, characters, plots, and dialogue; I understand target audiences and critical reactions. All of these things combined give any project the best chance to be successful. Check me out on IMDB under "Jermey Ashley Pair" to see a list of past and current projects I've worked on. When it comes to cost, I prefer a flat fee rather than an hourly rate. This way you know exactly how much your project will cost and we can focus on making it great without worrying about the clock.

As a writer, editor, and photographer I have worked in a myriad of roles and projects over the past several years; these have given me direct experience in the many aspects of producing quality content. My experience in developmental and acquisitional editing has given me experience in helping others define their visions when it comes to novels and non-fiction essays. This experience has further led to working with writing competitions--judging short stories and screenplays. When it comes to photography and videography, I have covered live events while also specializing in product, lifestyle, and nature. My background has always involved working tight deadlines for multiple projects simultaneously–throughout preproduction and post-production. I'm excited to learn more about any project available and am always happy to discuss and outline expectations for each and every project.

A good story can make you laugh or cry. A great story has characters you feel like you know, who inhabit the halls of your imagination, leaving an indelible impression. In my children's novels (see example below) and the work I've done for clients, I draw the reader into a magical world or a compelling mystery. I am a visionary, a storyteller, and a big picture thinker who can help make your dream come to life. I have ghostwritten for published authors in children's, young adult, and adult fiction.

I am a game writer and developer and a traditionally-published author, here to help bring your project to life. I've been writing full-time for well over a decade, and have authored hundreds of satirical and informative articles, several 60,000 word (or longer) game scripts with branching narrative and multiple endings, a RPG game book and three full-length novels. My debut novel was a finalist for two Arthur Ellis awards and a Bony Blithe. Beyond my work as a writer, I am also an experienced game developer and project manager. While working as the Narrative Manager for Psychose Interactive, I handled many aspects of narrative direction and implemention from producing game design documents and detailed synopses to providing direction on voice acting and motion capture. I pride myself on my ability to work seamlessly with diverse, multi-disciplinary teams while exceeding client expectations. For those who prefer fixed rates, I am also open to discussing pricing at around 15 to 25 cents per word, depending on the complexity and scope of the project. Two rounds of minor revisions are included in that price.
