We are launching a documentary-style YouTube channel focused on business, geopolitics, history, and the forces shaping the modern world. We are looking for a long-term scriptwriter–researcher to create scripts for 10–15 to 20–30 minute videos, approximately two per month. The script is the DNA of every video for us, so we need someone who can: - Dive deep into research. - Uncover compelling angles in a topic. - Turn them into immersive, emotionally engaging stories with strong narrative structure while staying grounded in verified facts. This is not an article-writing role but one that requires crafting scripts that bring stories to life. If this sounds like your kind of work and you're open to a long-term collaboration, we’d be happy to share the full brief.

Documentary-style YouTube scripts demand research depth paired with narrative architecture—most writers default to article structure when video requires pacing, emotional beats, and visual storytelling cadence. This role aligns directly with extensive background in research-driven content creation, ghostwriting, and scriptwriting across business, history, and geopolitical topics. The workflow is straightforward: source credible material using established research methods, identify narrative tension points, structure scripts with verified facts anchored to compelling storytelling, then deliver polished, broadcast-ready copy. Deliverables will include fully researched scripts (10-15 to 20-30 minutes), fact-verified references, and optional Turnitin reports for transparency. Two scripts monthly is manageable within a structured timeline. Long-term collaboration suits project continuity and brand voice consistency. Ready to start with your first topic and full brief. Can adjust turnaround based on research complexity and revision cycles.

Documentary-style YouTube scripts require more than writing ability—they demand the ability to synthesize complex research into narrative structures that hold attention while maintaining factual integrity across 10-30 minute formats. Over 7 years, I've built a track record delivering research-backed content across business, geopolitics, history, and economics. The approach here is straightforward: deep source validation, angle identification, and script architecture that treats each video as a complete narrative arc rather than information dumps. For this role, the workflow involves pulling from primary and secondary sources, cross-referencing claims, structuring arguments for pacing and emotional resonance, and delivering scripts that production teams can execute immediately. Two scripts monthly at this depth requires reliable research discipline and understanding of how documentary formats work. Ready to discuss the full brief and establish the research standards and revision cycles that work for your channel. Long-term collaboration builds quality—scripts improve when the writer understands your audience and perspective across multiple episodes.
