[Hiring] Screenwriter @Tycer Media Limited

Role Description

We're looking for a Video Screenwriter to take approved video outlines and turn them into full, production-ready scripts. You'll be handed a beat-by-beat outline and our established characters, and your job is to bring it to life:

• Writing the dialogue
• Shaping the pacing
• Delivering a finished script for voice actors, builders, and editors

We'd expect a productive writing day to land around 4,000–5,000 words of finished script, equalling one finished script per 6-8 hour working day.

This is writing for retention. Our audience skews young (female-leaning), and they decide whether to keep watching in the first ten seconds. You need to:

• Hook fast
• Keep the stakes clear
• Maintain clarity in the plot

You’ll have the opportunity to build and develop some of the most loved characters in the Minecraft YouTube space!

Also, you’ll be waking up early to check scripts of your American counterparts, providing edits while working alongside the production team to fix issues on the fly.

Qualifications

• Demonstrable scriptwriting or narrative writing ability (samples required)
• Deep, authentic familiarity with Minecraft and the Minecraft/roleplay YouTube space
• Strong instinct for story structure, hooks, and pacing
• Able to write for a young audience (8–14, female-leaning) without talking down to them
• Excellent written English and a sharp ear for dialogue
• Ability to mould your writing style to our established format
• Reliable internet and the ability to commit to more hours if the role offers
• Professional, responsive communication — you take direction and feedback well

Requirements

• Fast and consistent, comfortable producing 4,000–5,000 words of finished script in a working day

Benefits

• Opportunity for more hours, including holiday cover for US writers
• Potential for YT shorts script writing

Trial Period

All new writers begin with a paid trial — typically one or two scripts — so we can assess fit on both sides before committing to an ongoing arrangement. This is to ensure that you are able to keep up with the pace of work!
