What’s involved
Hey there — I'm putting together a 6-episode comedy web series made for phone-first viewing (think quick clips, not a full-length show), and I need a New York City-based writer to help turn some rough ideas into real scripts. Each episode runs about 1-2 minutes, so the writing needs to hook people fast, move quickly, and end on something that makes them want to tap the next one. The humor should feel like real NYC — jokes, situations, and references a local would immediately recognize. To be considered, please send: • A few writing samples (scripts, scenes, produced videos — anything showing comedy or short-form storytelling) • Your portfolio or resume • Your rate/quote for the project • The best way to reach you Looking to bring someone on board quickly. Thanks for reading!
