Network N is expanding its creative team and needs a new, hungry script writer to produce written copy for a range of content, primarily video and web stories. This position is available remotely, though we might need you to head into our recently refurbished, swanky office in Bath from time to time (we promise it’s worth the trip, and to pay your travel expenses if you’re a remote worker).
Whether it’s video or web story scripts for Network N’s owned and operated sites including PCGamesN, or bespoke scripts for our Most Wanted series – which is syndicated across over a hundred partner sites within Publisher Collective – Network N’s creative output is growing by the day. Your words will help us produce sharp, well-written content that stands out from the crowd, and to match ever-growing demand.
You’ll need to have a passionate, expert understanding of videogames across all platforms, as Network N reaches audiences on mobile, console, and PC. You’ll also need knowledge of not only the major video platforms, but social media spaces as well such as TikTok.
All eligible candidates are encouraged to apply, though we’re particularly eager to hear from writers from BIPOC, LGBTQ, and other underrepresented backgrounds.
