Full job description

Screenwriter — Friend (Minecraft Roleplay, 1.5M+ Subscribers)

Company: Tycer Media Channel: Friend (1.75M+ subscribers)
Location: Remote — UK, EU, or US only
Role type: Ad-hoc / freelance, moving to fixed part-time from mid-August 2026
Schedule (from mid-August 2026): 2 days per week | 3:00 PM – 10:00 PM BST US equivalents (summer): 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM EDT / 7:00 AM – 2:00 PM PDT

Start: Ad-hoc work available now; part-time from mid-August 2026

Pay: Per finished script
Hours: ~14 hours per week from August (ad-hoc before then)

About Us

We're the production team behind Friend, a Minecraft roleplay channel with over 1.75 million subscribers and 250M+ long-form views in the past year. Our content is scripted, directed, and produced in-house with a team of voice actors, writers, editors, developers, and artists. Everything starts with the script, it's the backbone of every video we make.

The Role

We're looking for an Video Screenwriter to take approved video outlines and turn them into full, production-ready scripts. You'll be handed a beat-by-beat outline and our established characters, and your job is to bring it to life: writing the dialogue, shaping the pacing, and delivering a finished script our voice actors can record from, our builders build from, and and our editors to edit off

This starts as ad-hoc, project-by-project work. From mid-August 2026 it becomes a fixed part-time arrangement — 2 days per week, 3:00–10:00 PM BST. We'd expect a productive writing day to land around 4,000–5,000 words of finished script.
Equalling one finished script per 6-8 hour working day.

This is writing for retention. Our audience skews young (female-leaning), and they decide whether to keep watching in the first ten seconds. You need to hook fast, keep the stakes clear, and never lose our younger audience in a confusing plot, while still writing something with genuine heart and personality.

Who You Are

You know this space from the inside. You've watched Minecraft creators, probably since you were young, and you understand the rhythms, humour, and storytelling conventions of Minecraft roleplay and gaming YouTube. They don't need explaining to you; they're native. On top of that, you can actually write: structure a story, write dialogue that sounds real, and hold an audience all the way through.

Responsibilities

Develop approved outlines into full, recording-ready scripts
Write natural, in-character dialogue that stays true to our established cast and lore
Structure every script for retention — strong hook, clear stakes, clean pacing
Follow our established scene structure and keep objectives simple and easy to follow
Self-edit for continuity, tone, and clarity before submitting
Take revision notes from the senior writer, and turn them around quickly
Deliver finished scripts on schedule
Keep your files organised and follow our naming conventions

Requirements

Demonstrable scriptwriting or narrative writing ability (we'll want to see samples)
Deep, authentic familiarity with Minecraft and the Minecraft/roleplay YouTube space
Strong instinct for story structure, hooks, and pacing
Able to write for a young audience (8–14, female-leaning) without talking down to them
Fast and consistent, comfortable producing 4,000–5,000 words of finished script in a working day
Excellent written English and a sharp ear for dialogue
Ability to mould your writing style to our established format
Reliable internet and the ability to commit to the fixed window from August
Professional, responsive communication — you take direction and feedback well

Nice to Have

An existing body of written work (YouTube scripts, animation, games, fiction)
Understanding of YouTube retention, CTR, and average view duration
Familiarity with the Friend channel specifically and/or our competitors
Experience writing serialised characters and ongoing lore
Experience working in a remote production team

Trial Period

All new writers begin with a paid trial — typically one or two scripts — so we can assess fit on both sides before committing to an ongoing arrangement.

How to Apply

Apply on our website — please include links to writing samples or a portfolio.
