Freelance Writer (History)

New Posted 13 November 2023 | Remote | Freelance Writer

My name is Neon Lyceum and I am looking for a scriptwriter.

I am the creative director and channel owner of the Neon Lyceum YouTube channel. We are a brand new (faceless) channel looking to make a mark.

I have always been passionate about history. Now, I want to share that with the world. For too long, history has been boring. Stale. I want to change that.

Specifically, I am looking for someone to write a ~ 10 minute video for the channel. For a 1,500 word script, I am happy to offer $300 for the project.

The Ideal candidate will:


Have a strong interest in history

Have a track record in writing for successful YouTube channels

Enjoys storytelling and delivering strong emotions to their audience

Enjoys communicating lofty events/ideas/people into everyday language

I am happy to discuss the specific topic of the video to suit your interest.

An idea to get us started:


Napoleon and the Rosetta Stone (as the Ridley Scott film is coming out soon)

Linked below are some videos and channels which I think highly of their storytelling and presentation:
