Having released the critically acclaimed Lost Words: Beyond the Page on Steam, consoles and mobile, Sketchbook Games are now looking for a writer for our new game.
This new project is focusing on the topic of mental health and anxiety and we want it to have a positive impact on our player’s lives.
We particularly encourage applications from people in groups underrepresented in the games industry.
It will be a remote, freelance contract with flexible hours.
Our two requirements are:
- You are UK based
- You have written for at least one shipped game. Any game design experience is a plus.
We will offer up to five candidates the opportunity to complete a short paid writing sample for the project for £150 each and we will be able to offer a contract to the writer(s) we hope to continue working with for the wider project.
The narrative concept will consist of a self contained short story chapter and a short, max 5 minutes worth of sample dialogue. We will send an NDA agreement and more detailed brief to our chosen candidates.
Please only use this application form to apply and not LinkedIn, email or social media.
We're looking forward to hearing from you!
