We are looking for a creative writer to help develop content ideas, hooks, stories, and scripts for short-form video content.

Please Note: This is not a social media manager or digital marketer position.

I handle the marketing strategy, framing, and strategic angles—you just bring the raw writing talent to bring that vision to life.

What matters most is your ability to write in a way that is engaging, entertaining, funny, relatable, and capable of holding someone's attention.

Creative writing students
English majors
Journalists
Screenwriters
Theater or improv performers
Comedy writers
Bloggers
Freelance writers
People who naturally tell great stories
People who are highly observant and enjoy humor and human behavior

Responsibilities

Brainstorm content ideas
Write hooks and opening lines
Write short-form video scripts
Turn everyday situations into interesting stories
Help develop recurring content series
Rewrite rough concepts into stronger content

Preferred Qualifications

Strong writing ability
Comedic writing experience preferred
Understanding of storytelling and audience attention
Familiarity with TikTok, Instagram Reels, and current internet culture
Awareness of social media trends, formats, and what makes people stop scrolling

Compensation & Performance Incentives Contractor position:

$29 per hour
Script projects starting at $30 per script, depending on length and complexity
Performance Incentive Program: We want to reward your hit scripts! If a video featuring your script performs exceptionally well (milestones based on views, engagement, or reach), you will receive a performance bonus per video. Let's win together.
