About the job

Seeking Writers for Scripted Comedy Series (Unpaid | Credit + Paid Priority for Season 2)

This is a fully remote writers room. Writers from across the U.S. and Canada are welcome to apply.

Ever worked a job where you showed up not even sure whose problem you were solving today? That’s the world we’re writing.

A scripted comedy series is in development and the writers room is being built. The concept has range, the characters have layers, and the setting is one most people have either worked in or been on the other end of – and survived to complain about.

We’re not looking for people to fill seats. We’re looking for writers who actually want to build something.

Priority needs:
Cold opens and comedy punchlines are the biggest gaps right now. If that’s your wheelhouse, lead with that.

We’re also building out the room with writers strong in character development, plot structure, dialogue, scene pacing, and emotional moments. Overlap is welcome. If you write in multiple lanes, say so.

What this looks like:
Weekly writers room sessions, episode outlining and scripting, collaborative revisions, and creative development from the ground up.

What you get:
Writer’s credit on the project and genuine writers room experience. Season 1 writers have first consideration for paid positions when Season 2 is greenlit.

To apply:

Then email a writing sample to info@prestigecreativeservices.com

Full project details and show vision are shared with approved applicants only.

Accepting applications from April 20 - May 11.

I tend to agree with the other Richard. This is a spec project and writers can do their own specs on their own time their own creativity. Asking anybody to take on an unpaid position and put that much effort into it isn’t gonna garner a lot of attention. Good luck with the project.
