JOB OVERVIEW

We run a faceless YouTube Shorts channel covering celebrity drama, pop culture news, and trending stories. We're looking for a sharp, creative scriptwriter who can turn raw topics into 30–50 second scripts that hook viewers and hold attention until the very last second.
What you'll do:

Write 1–2 scripts per day (30–50 seconds each when read aloud) following our proven script structure
Craft attention-grabbing hooks, build curiosity through the middle, and deliver satisfying payoffs at the end
Work with our idea researcher to turn raw clips and topics into compelling narratives
Use dramatic, punchy language appropriate for a younger audience (Grade 5 reading level)
Revise scripts based on retention data and feedback

What a great script looks like to us:

The hook makes someone stop scrolling within the first 3 seconds
The payoff is NEVER revealed early — mystery and intrigue carry the viewer through the whole video
Every sentence serves a purpose — no fluff, no tangents
Language is vivid, dramatic, and simple (no complex vocabulary)
Includes a story-related subscribe CTA after the payoff

You're a great fit if you:

Have experience writing short-form video scripts (YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Reels)
Follow celebrity news, pop culture, and trending topics
Understand retention-driven storytelling (hooks, threading, payoffs)
Can write in a conversational, high-energy tone
Are comfortable receiving feedback and iterating quickly
Can consistently hit deadlines

Bonus if you:

Have experience analyzing YouTube retention graphs
Understand YouTube Shorts algorithm basics (AVD, swipe rate)
Have written scripts that achieved 1M+ views

Please include 2–3 sample scripts in your application (or links to videos you've scripted). We'll provide our script structure guide and examples of top-performing videos to get you started.
