Youtube Script Writer Needed for Film & TV Niche(Research-Based, Long-Term Work) - Contract to Hire
I’m looking for a skilled writer with a genuine interest in classic American movies and retro television (typically 1970s to 1990s) to craft engaging, well-researched scripts for a YouTube channel focused on nostalgic entertainment. The ideal candidate is not just a strong writer, but also a solid researcher who can dig into reliable sources to uncover accurate details, background stories, and context that will resonate with a mature, pop-culture-loving audience.
Script topics vary, but generally explore older Hollywood films, classic television shows, notable actors, and memorable moments in entertainment history. Each script should be 2,000 to 4,000 words, well-organized, and written in a tone that’s informative, accessible, and compelling. Use of AI tools is acceptable to support your writing, but every script MUST BE FACT CHECKED and 100% original—no shortcuts or copied material. Accuracy, storytelling, and authenticity are key.
The starting rate is $30 per script, with performance-based bonuses available. I’m looking to begin with one script per week, with the opportunity for ongoing, long-term work if it’s a good fit. As stated, the budget for this role is fixed at $30 per script. To respect everyone’s time, please apply only if you’re comfortable with this rate. Applications requesting a different or hourly rate will not be considered.
To confirm you've read the full post, start your application with the phrase “Can you fly Bobby?” Also, include some examples of your past work and experience. Applications that don’t include this will not be considered.
Those under consideration will be asked to attend a brief interview. Writers who are dependable, collaborative, open to feedback, and enthusiastic about classic film and television will thrive in this role. If that sounds like you, I’d love to hear from you.
