Scriptwriter

Overview

Freelance Scriptwriter to draft cinematic, narrative-driven audio tour scripts for venues and neighborhoods using Dex’s established writing frameworks.

What you'll do

• Script character-voiced audio tours based on a research brief with itinerary, route, and per-exhibit research.
• Transform in-depth research into immersive, conversational storytelling for audio-led walking tours.
• Collaborate with a tour producer who curates the tour’s creative direction.
• Revise scripts through multiple rounds of feedback (approximately 3 rounds) per tour.
• Absorb and follow Dex guidelines including scripting, voice casting, and structure.
• Choose compelling facts and craft a distinct narrative angle for each venue and neighborhood.

What you'll need

• 3-5 years of demonstrated narrative or scriptwriting output (audio, video, podcast, or long-form storytelling).
• Ability to produce a writing sample that finds a non-obvious story in a well-documented place.
• Strong research instincts, including sourcing rigor and comfort digging past initial sources.
• Comfort writing within a structured creative framework and taking direct editorial notes.
• Reliable availability for iterative turnaround cycles typical of freelance engagements.

Nice to have
