Creative Writer – $15 – $80 an hour
Our company, Dawg Studios, is looking for a talented Creative Writer (Human – No AI Use) to join our team!
We produce some of the highest quality animated Minecraft videos for several large YouTube channels and social media pages, and these videos typically receive millions of views across platforms.
Your job as a Creative Writer will primarily consist of the following two responsibilities:
A) Taking one of our video scripts or song lyrics and coming up with in-depth text descriptions of exactly what should occur visually in each scene, similar to a screenplay. This will then be given to our animators so that they can bring it to life in 3D.
B) Taking one of our video ideas and turning it into a complete script.
Frequently Asked Questions:
“How much will I be paid?” – If you are talented, we will make it worth your time to work for us. Exactly how much you will be paid depends on your work experience as well as how large of a project we are asking you to complete and how high the quality of your work is. Before beginning a project, we will agree to a price for your work. We are happy to pay our Creative Writers what they are worth, and we are happy to negotiate exact pricing once we decide whether to proceed with hiring you.
“Do I need a portfolio of past work?” – Yes, we expect every applicant to provide us easily verifiable examples of their past work when they apply. This is so that we can trust in your creativity, see what you are capable of, and see what sorts of artistic choices you make.
“How much experience do I need?” – What matters most is your level of talent. Most applicants tend to have at least a few years of relevant experience.
“Do I need to be familiar with the game Minecraft?” – We heavily prefer applicants who are familiar with the game Minecraft, since all our stories take place within the Minecraft world. That said, we take all qualified applicants seriously and will happily look at your work experience regardless, even if you are not familiar with the game.
“Am I allowed to use Artificial Intelligence?” – We have a zero-tolerance policy for AI use within our studio in order to preserve the genuine human connection between the creator and the viewer, and if your application is generated with AI it will be immediately disqualified. We ask our writers to either write on pencil & paper OR use a service like Google Docs when to type their work out so that we may verify through its version history that it was indeed written by them and not AI. We are not interested in AI storytelling!
Notes – This is remote, freelance & contract-based work. We are based in the Central Time Zone in the USA. You must be fluent in English to apply.
