Writer – True Crime Podcast
We’re looking for a writer who understands how to tell a real story—one that’s built on facts, shaped by reporting, and grounded in truth.
This isn’t fiction. This is real life. Real victims. Real consequences. So we need someone who knows how to handle that responsibility.
You’ve either written for true crime podcasts, television, or long-form investigative pieces—or you’ve done the kind of reporting that proves you can.
What you’ll be doing:
Writing episode scripts that are clear, structured, and emotionally grounded Working from case files, interviews, and source material to build narrative Collaborating closely on story development, pacing, and tone Helping shape investigations into compelling, responsible storytelling
What matters:
Proven experience in true crime (podcast, TV, or investigative journalism) Strong narrative instincts—knowing what to hold back and what to reveal Ability to write with restraint and respect—never sensationalizing Comfort working with real case material, transcripts, and legal documents Tight, clean writing—no filler, no fluff
If you’ve done this before, we’ll see it in your work.
Send samples that reflect your ability to tell a real story—preferably something rooted in true crime or investigative reporting.
