Overview

Help shape how AI talks about TV and film.

We're looking for writers with genuine entertainment fluency - people who actually watch anime, K-drama, dark comedy, atmospheric horror, and family cinema, and can write about it in a polished, on-brand voice.

You'll work from home on a flexible schedule.

What you will do

Write

short-form content about TV shows, films, and entertainment titles in a defined brand voice
Rewrite

AI-generated entertainment copy so it sounds natural, accurate, and tonally right for the genre
Research

plot details, cast, episodes, and cultural context to keep every line factually correct
Match

tone to the title - a horror logline shouldn't read like a rom-com summary
Flag

AI responses that miss genre conventions, get facts wrong, or feel off in voice

Who we are looking for

A real writer - short-form copy, editorial, brand, fiction, screenwriting, or published reviews. Not "writing-adjacent" work. A portfolio link, clippings, Substack, or published samples should accompany your application.
Genuine entertainment fluency - If you can tell us, off the top of your head, the difference between isekai and shōnen, name a comedian whose set you'd recommend to a friend, or explain why a K-drama like Destined With You works, you're the right person.
Native or near-native conversational US English, with strong control of tone, grammar, and register.
Comfortable writing inside a brand voice - you've written as a publication, brand, or persona before, not just in your own voice.
A background in English, Creative Writing, Journalism, Film/Media Studies, Theatre, or Communications is a plus, not a requirement.
Ready for structured short-form work with character limits, style guides, and a high accuracy bar.
