Freelance Comedic Script Writer for YouTube Shorts – $15 per script (60–120 words each)

I’m launching a YouTube channel that explores English pronunciation and the funny mistakes learners from around the world make — through short, character-driven comedy sketches. I’m looking for a freelance comedic script writer to help bring these ideas to life.

What you’ll do:

  • Write short, one-on-one comedic dialogues (60–120 words each).
  • Base each script on a theme, city, country, or list of English words provided.
  • Include two characters: a recurring teacher and a rotating cast of “students” (e.g., busy Brazilian mom, anxious Italian student, curious Japanese teen).
  • Keep language simple — no advanced vocab needed.

Ideal candidate:

  • Strong sense of humor and timing.
  • Culturally aware or well-traveled — the audience is international (especially Europe & Asia).
  • Able to capture character personality quickly in short dialogue.
  • Reliable and comfortable working remotely, with flexible deadlines.

Workload & Pay:

  • Freelance / per-script basis
  • 8 shorts per month
  • $15 per script (~$0.15/word)
