Hi, I'm Liz. I'm a solo developer looking for a writer who has a background, passion, or interest in classical music.

My game is a music rhythm game (think guitar hero) that uses classical music (Baroque to Romantic periods) and needs writing that can give background and color to the song they’ll be playing and the environment they’d be playing in.

The goal of this is to prime the player to imagine themselves playing in front of a rowdy crowd. I don’t want the existing stuffy reputation of classical performances to continue in this game so I want the writing to help guide that.

This job is contract based and will have a trial phase:

• Trial phase: Write a single 100-200 word piece on a piece of music with the stated goals in mind. Pay: $300 (regardless of final quality)
• Main phase: Assuming the quality is acceptable from the first phase and we have a good working relationship, write an additional five 100-200 word pieces on additional songs from the discussed musical periods. Pay: $1500

I expect a collaborative effort with a lot of communication. We will have periodic (but not necessarily frequent) check ins. I want to make sure we’re constantly discussing and sharing our work with the goal of making sure we’re going in the right direction at all times.

Location

Remote. No expected hours but I do expect to be able to communicate with the contractor while I’m awake (8am - midnight, Eastern Time).

To apply

Send any writing samples you may have and I’d also like to know your background in classical music and video games.
