Freelance Storymakers/Writers/Narrative Creators
Wonderbly, United Kingdom
Job Description
Do you have professional experience in narrative design or story making? Would you like to contribute to one of the country’s leading and most innovative publishers? We’re Wonderbly, the Children’s Publisher of the Year. And we’re looking for experienced story tellers and narrative designers, to help us create even more magical, personalised stories.
At Wonderbly, we do things differently. We conceive, write, illustrate, design and engineer all of our books in house. It’s a collaborative process involving creatives, producers, software engineers, and a whole lot of other people. Innovation is at the heart of everything we do, and we never stop thinking of new ways to create never-seen-before stories which will make children gasp in wonder.
Requirements
Because we do things in house, we’re always on the lookout for exceptional talent. We always want to meet non-traditional storytellers, who are happy to take a different approach to narrative design. The building blocks of our stories are personalised data - names, dates of birth, likes and dislikes, addresses, appearance - and we use these starting points to design innovative, delightful, magical narratives which are unique to every child.
You might have a background in games design. Or immersive theatre. You might be a specialist in meta-fiction, or experimental film. You might have a traditional writing background, but really want to try something new. The only things you must have is a love of children’s literature, and professional, demonstrable experience in a relevant field which you can share with us.
Does this sound like you? If so, do get in touch with a CV or details of relevant experience, and a sample of work. We’d love to hear from you!
Benefits
First and foremost you should join Wonderbly because of the work. We’re on a mission to inspire boundless self belief in every child, everywhere through our beautiful personalised books.
- The chance to work on something your friends and family will fall in love with
- We love having dogs in the office (well behaved ones anyway)!
