Experienced True Crime Writer — Narrative Podcast

Freelance
Remote (Anywhere)

Posted 3 weeks ago

We’re building something that demands precision. Not content. Not filler. Story.

We’re looking for a writer who understands how a case unfolds—how details matter, how restraint matters more, and how the truth carries weight when you don’t overproduce it.

This is a narrative-driven true crime podcast with a large, engaged audience. The bar is high. The expectation is simple: get it right. You should be comfortable working from case files, interviews, transcripts, and reporting. You know how to structure a story that holds tension without forcing it. You don’t chase drama—you recognize it when it’s already there.

 

What you’ll be doing:

Writing episode scripts built on real investigations

Shaping narrative arcs across episodes

Collaborating closely on tone, pacing, and structure

Translating reporting into clean, compelling storytelling

You might be a fit if:

You’ve written for true crime podcasts, documentaries, or long-form journalism

You understand investigative process—not just storytelling

You can write in a voice that is grounded, direct, and human

You know when to pull back instead of push harder

This is a collaborative role. We’re not looking for volume—we’re looking for judgment.

If that resonates, send:

Relevant writing samples (podcast scripts preferred)

A short note on how you approach telling a real case.

Are you the right fit for this?
