Hiring Documentary Script Writer | Veil Theory – $200–$450 per script (2,500–4,000 words)

Documentary Scriptwriter (Long-Form | 15–30 Min Videos)

We are building a high-retention, documentary-style YouTube channel focused on:

• Dark history

• Scientific mysteries

• Hidden systems

• Psychological and geopolitical deep dives

This is NOT a listicle channel.

We are looking for a cinematic storyteller — not a blog writer.

💰 Pay:

$200–$450 per script (2,500–4,000 words)

Long-term position for the right fit.

🎯 What We Expect:

  • Strong narrative hook within first 30 seconds
  • Clear central tension or guiding question
  • Structured escalation (not chronological information dump)
  • Emotional pacing and psychological depth
  • Clean formatting ready for voiceover
  • Proper research with source references

❌ Do NOT Apply If:

  • You write SEO blog posts
  • You use AI to generate first drafts without restructuring
  • You rely on “Top 10” formatting
  • You have no long-form YouTube experience

✅ To Apply:

  1. Send 2–3 long-form of scripts of your previous work
  2. Answer this question:

“What makes a documentary script high-retention compared to a standard informational script?”

  1. Write the word “STRUCTURE” at the top of your message.

Shortlisted applicants will complete a paid test task.
