Writing Assistant

The job

We also have site-specific copy that needs to be made fun. I'll be creative directing, so this is an assistant role with limited creative liberty, unless your ideas are really good.

What you'd be doing

Tighten scripts

Take my drafts, such as our first-time player script and kinetic text pieces, and cut them down so every line earns its place.

Punch up the jokes

Add jokes, sharpen the ones already there, and give me alternates to pick from.

Make the site copy fun

Rewrite the site's buttons, menus, empty states, errors and announcements so they sound like crash.party.

Work to my direction

Keep the story and voice I've set, take notes fast, and pitch bigger ideas when you have a really good one.

What we're looking for

• You're funny on the page, and you can show us
• A sharp editor: you can make a script shorter and better without losing the writer's voice
• Range across formats: dialogue, kinetic text, UI copy, one-liners
• Comfort with taking direction and writing many options for one line
• Fast turnaround on notes

Nice to have

• Sketch, improv, comedy or game writing experience
• You play games and know the tone of internet humor
