Role Overview
PlotPix is building an AI native microdrama platform for mobile first, vertical storytelling. We create emotionally addictive, binge worthy fiction designed for short episode formats and fast audience payoff.
We are looking for a creative Story Writer who can create stories people feel compelled to continue. This is not a pure script formatting role. We already use AI heavily for speed and execution. What we need most is a strong creative mind with sharp instinct for storytelling, emotional progression, character build up, audience pull, narrative rhythm, and what makes a viewer care.
You should be someone who can take a rough idea and turn it into a compelling story engine. Someone who naturally thinks in terms of tension, reversals, chemistry, obsession, secrets, payoffs, emotional spikes, and binge flow.
This role is for people who are excited by new storytelling formats, can adapt to new audiences quickly, and can use AI as a multiplier rather than as a crutch.
What You’ll Do
- Create original microdrama story concepts with strong audience appeal
- Build lead characters viewers get emotionally invested in, root for, obsess over, hate, or can’t ignore
- Design high retention story arcs with clear emotional movement across episodes
- Shape narration flow, emotional flow, reveals, reversals, cliffhangers, and payoff moments
- Develop stories that feel highly bingeable in a short form vertical format
- Explore multiple creative directions for the same premise and identify the strongest one
- Adapt stories across genres, tones, and audience segments based on brief, platform need, or viewer response
- Work with AI tools to accelerate ideation, expansion, variation, and iteration
- Push past generic ideas and predictable beats to find fresher, sharper story turns
- Collaborate closely with directors, editors, and creative leads to refine stories from concept to final narrative
- Rewrite with intent, not just polish. Improve emotional impact, clarity, pace, and viewer pull
- Continuously learn what works for new formats, new markets, and changing audience tastes
What We’re Really Looking For
- Strong instinct for storytelling over scripting
- Strong sense of emotion over exposition
- Strong sense of viewer psychology over technical correctness
- Ability to create characters, conflict, tension, attraction, betrayal, longing, power shifts, and payoff
- Ability to judge whether a story feels flat, forced, repetitive, too safe, too slow, or not emotionally sticky
- High creative aptitude and fast pattern recognition
- Comfort with ambiguity, experimentation, and non traditional workflows
- Curiosity about what different audiences respond to and why
- Ability to use AI effectively while still bringing original taste and judgment
Ideal Candidate
You may come from fiction writing, screenwriting, web series, audio drama, serialised content, fan fiction communities, creator writing rooms, ad films, narrative design, or any form of storytelling where audience pull matters.
What matters most is that you can:
- Think of strong stories fast
- Build characters people care about
- Sustain emotional momentum
- Adapt to feedback without making the story bland
- Create for modern mobile audiences without sounding synthetic or derivative
Nice to Have
- Experience in short form fiction, web series, episodic storytelling, romance, thriller, drama, or youth content
- Understanding of Gen Z and young adult entertainment patterns
- Familiarity with cliffhanger design, binge loops, and retention driven storytelling
- Experience using AI tools for brainstorming, iteration, or story development
- Comfort working in a fast paced creative environment with frequent iteration
Experience
We are open on background. Years matter less than story instinct.
You could be a fit if you have:
- 1 to 2 years in fiction, screenplay, episodic, digital, or narrative writing
or
- A strong portfolio that shows exceptional storytelling ability, even without conventional experience
What Success Looks Like
In this role, success means:
- You consistently generate strong story ideas, not just clean pages
- Your characters feel emotionally alive
- Your episode flows create pull and continuation
- Your stories adapt well to new formats and audience needs
- You improve the quality of the story, not just the wording of the script
What We Offer
- Working with a highly skilled, motivated and passionate group of people.
- Exposure to the full product development process from ideation to launch.
- Our culture of experimentation and creativity allows everyone to explore new ideas and approaches and think outside the box.
- Building a product for the global audience.
- A full pantry of munchies.
