What you’ll do

You’ll write short stories, serialised episodes, and interactive scripts designed as 5–10 minute reads. You’ll develop memorable characters and worlds, keeping the tone and reading level appropriate for Years 4–13. You’ll collaborate with educators and designers to turn your narratives into activities, prompts, and light gamified choices. You’ll also edit and polish to brief, maintain tidy version control in Google Drive, and consistently hit weekly deadlines.

You’ll bring

You have a small portfolio with 1–2 fiction samples—micro-fiction, fanfic, short stories, or scripts are all welcome. Your prose is clear and engaging, and you can write clean, inclusive, age-appropriate content. You understand core storycraft—premise, stakes, character arcs, pacing, and dialogue—and you’re reliable, open to edits, and comfortable working in Google Docs/Drive (Canva is a bonus).
