Workload: 3-4 Scripts/Month

Deadline: 7 days per script

Payment Terms: 15¢ per word, alongside $10 per video hour for reviewing case footage

Hiring Process: I'll be hiring multiple writers so please apply ASAP as spots won't last long! For the sake of transparency, the first step in that hiring process is an unpaid trial write, wherein you put together a brief snippet of a script over the case regarding Michael Webb and it's just used for us to get an idea about what your video would look like (at least on the scripting side of things). Beyond this, it serves to give you a feel for the type of content we're looking to produce! Following this (and any potential revisions), if we like what we're seeing, we'll move you onto a paid trial, where you'll be assigned a full script. We'll check in part-ways through and if things are still looking golden, you'll be fully on-boarded! If anyone has any questions in regards to the hiring process, I am happy to answer them!

If this doesn't sound quite up your alley, check out the Clickable Website! We may have openings for a different project more suited to your interests! In the meantime, thank y'all for applying and I look forward to working with ya!
