We’re Hiring: Documentary YouTube Scriptwriter

We run a documentary-style YouTube channel and need a writer who can turn real events into gripping stories.

Not looking for basic writers.

We need someone who understands retention, pacing, and storytelling.

What You’ll Be Writing:

10–20 minute scripts

True crime, history, and real-world stories

Structured narratives with clear flow (hook → buildup → payoff)

This Is For You If You Can:

Open a script in a way that hooks viewers instantly

Turn raw research into a story (not just information)

Keep the pacing tight and engaging throughout

Write in a natural, human tone (not robotic or generic)

This Is NOT For You If:

You just summarize information

You don’t understand audience retention

You rely on fluff or filler to stretch scripts

What Matters Most:

Strong storytelling

Clean structure

Viewer engagement

To Apply:

Send 1–2 samples + answer this in 2–3 lines:

“What’s your strategy for keeping viewers watching past the first 2 minutes?”
