Job Description

Responsibilities

Write short-form content about TV shows, films, and entertainment titles in a defined brand voice
Rewrite AI-generated entertainment copy so it sounds natural, accurate, and tonally right for the genre
Research plot details, cast, episodes, and cultural context to keep every line factually correct
Match tone to the title — a horror logline shouldn’t read like a rom-com summary
Flag AI responses that miss genre conventions, get facts wrong, or feel off in voice

Requirements

A portfolio link, clippings, Substack, or published samples should accompany your application.
Native or near-native conversational US English, with strong control of tone, grammar, and register.
comfortable writing inside a brand voice — you’ve written as a publication, brand, or persona before, not just in your own voice.
Ready for structured short-form work with character limits, style guides, and a high accuracy bar.
A real writer — short-form copy, editorial, brand, fiction, screenwriting, or published reviews. Not “writing-adjacent” work.

Preferred

Genuine entertainment fluency across anime, K-drama, dark comedy, atmospheric horror, and family cinema is a plus.
Demonstrated ability to write short-form copy under character limits with style guides (experience with structured short-form work).
