Job Description

OPEN CALL: Screenwriters Wanted!!

We’re building our talent pool for future writing opportunities — from IP adaptations to original series across every genre. Writers in our pool may be invited to develop scripts, adapt existing IP, or pitch original ideas for upcoming projects.

If you love crafting fast-paced, emotional stories made for the vertical era, we’d love to read your work. Send us 1-2 samples of your writing. You’ll be contacted if there’s interest!

About the Role

DramaBox is redefining mobile-first storytelling through emotionally explosive, binge-worthy vertical dramas that hook viewers in under 90 seconds. We’re looking for a Screenwriter to develop compelling, genre-driven stories designed for serialized short-form video.

In this role, you’ll create original storylines, write scripts, and help craft the voice of some of the most addictive vertical dramas on mobile. Whether it’s romance, revenge, fantasy, or thriller—you know how to escalate emotion, land a cliffhanger, and keep audiences swiping for more.

What You’ll Do

  • Pitch and develop original concepts—or adapt pre-existing IPs—into shows that work within 1–2 minute episode structures
  • Write loglines, beat sheets, and full scripts with strong emotional hooks and genre precision
  • Build serialized stories with high-stakes arcs, character momentum, and satisfying turns
  • Collaborate with editors and development executives to revise scripts and integrate feedback
  • Stay current on vertical storytelling trends, genre shifts, and audience behavior across mobile platforms
  • Contribute to a high-volume, high-impact development slate with multiple active titles in production

Who You Are

  • 3+ years of screenwriting experience across TV, digital, web series, game writing, or serialized fiction
  • A sharp storyteller with strong instincts for structure, tension, and pacing—especially in ultra-short formats
  • Comfortable writing across multiple genres, especially romance, melodrama, thriller, fantasy, or supernatural
  • Able to write dynamic, emotionally charged dialogue that lands fast and feels real
  • Collaborative, self-directed, and excited by rapid iteration in a fast-paced writers’ environment
  • Passionate about mobile-first formats and eager to experiment with new narrative forms

Bonus Points If You…

  • Have written for vertical short drama platforms (e.g., DramaBox, ReelShort, PocketFM)
  • Have experience with interactive narratives, visual novels, or mobile story apps
  • Are proficient with Final Draft or other professional screenwriting tools
  • Follow international trends in webnovels, serialized romance, or mobile entertainment
