Scriptwriter/Researcher | Silent Truths




We are launching a high-quality YouTube channel focused on fascinating, little-known facts about humans, biology, and how the world actually works — the kind of information that makes viewers say “wait… what?” and keeps them watching to the end.

We’re looking for an experienced YouTube scriptwriter / researcher who understands how to combine deep research, storytelling, and YouTube retention mechanics into highly engaging 10-minute scripts.

This is not a generic content writing role. We need someone who understands:

  • How to hook viewers in the first 5–10 seconds
  • How to structure scripts for retention (curiosity loops, pacing, payoff)
  • How to make complex science and human facts feel accessible, emotional, and compelling
  • How YouTube actually works

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Researching interesting, unusual, and surprising facts/topics about:
  • Human biology
  • The brain, body, evolution, behaviour
  • Strange scientific truths most people don’t know
  • Writing high-retention 8–12 minute YouTube scripts
  • Creating strong hooks, engaging narrative flow, and satisfying conclusions
  • Having experience in educating in a humorous and entertaining way
  • Working from broad topics or video concepts and turning them into polished scripts
  • Occasionally suggesting video ideas and angles

What We’re Looking For:

  • Proven experience writing for YouTube (not blogs, not SEO articles — YouTube)
  • A strong understanding of YouTube storytelling and retention psychology
  • Excellent research skills with reliable sources
  • Ability to write in a conversational, clear, and engaging tone
  • Ability to simplify complex topics without dumbing them down
  • Someone who is creative, curious, and genuinely interested in science and human behaviour

Requirements:

  • Please include links to YouTube videos you have written for (or channels you’ve worked with)
  • Or samples that clearly show your ability to write engaging video scripts
  • Strong English writing skills
  • Reliable communication and ability to hit deadlines
