Screenwriter for YouTube channel

We are looking for a screenwriter to join our team and help us create storytelling videos for Jeff Tilley’s YouTube channel. It’s a documentary channel where we explore different brands and their stories, countries and their innovations, and more.
 

Our content focuses on the stories behind it all - how companies operate, the real people and decisions behind them, and how they shape and change our lives . We dive into history, mistakes, smart ideas, business decisions, and unexpected twists that built the brands we all know.
 

Your role will be to explain the world behind brands, countries, and ideas in a simple and engaging way.
 

Take a look at our channel to get a sense of the style and type of content we produce: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiTnmfq3bV1YMmGyVSutS6w
 

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has strong English skills 
• Writes in simple, plain-spoken Standard American English
• Has experience writing YouTube scripts
• Can do deep research and uncover surprising facts about brands, companies, founders, etc.
• Likes working in a documentary style and is interested in topics like technology, business, and history
• Can explain complex business topics in a simple way
• Respects deadlines and can consistently deliver scripts on time
• Doesn’t fully rely on AI to generate scripts (We’re not against it. AI tools for research are fine, and improved phrasing is welcome, but we don’t want generic content filled with cliche phrases like “game changer”, “chaos”, etc.)
   

About the job:

• You will create a storyboard for each script
• You will create 1-3 scripts per month
• Average length: 3500-4500 words
• Fixed price: up to $150 per script
   

Important: 

• We pay for scripts via Upwork or by bank transfer if you’re a registered private entrepreneur.
