How To Be A Freelance Television Writer

By Jerry Phillips


Writing for TV can mean a lot of things because this line of work is extremely broad and has a lot of potential opportunities for growth as a writer. Now, if one is interested in becoming a freelance television writer, then there are a few things he or she needs to think about. First, he or she needs to think about which field to specialize in and what each field is about.

First of all, one has to specialize in one single field of media writing. There are many types of TV shows that one can write for if he or she chooses to go about with this career. It is all a matter of specialization and also choosing which field to focus in so that one can be successful in his or her pursuit.

The first one that will be discussed would be the commercial script writer because it is one of the more sought out and common jobs. To have a career in commercial script writing, one has to specialize in scripts made for TV commercials. This means that the language that he will be using would be fun and engaging as well as sales driven.

Aside from writing commercial scripts, one can write stories and movie scripts. For this particular field, it would take a lot of imagination and creativity to excel in this field. In this line, one will write the dialogues for each character as well as the story of them.

Other than that, one may also be a specialize in writing speeches for people who appear on TV and in press cons. These may include government officials, celebrities, and even news casters. Of course, one has to have a background in media in order to understand the tone and the style for writing speeches.

In the field of journalism, one may also choose to be a transcriber for news. The job of a transcriber is to simply record whatever is said during a press con, an interview, or even a speech. The key to being a really good transcriber is to know how to pay attention to detail.

Finally, one can also be a journalist that may write news for casters that are on TV. These people get the news and report the story that they acquired and create news for it. This news will then be reported on TV with the journalist also providing a whole background and outline of the story that will be shown on TV.

Out of all these jobs, one just have to make sure that he or she has the expertise and the experience to take this kind of job. The great thing about these jobs is that they can be done on a freelance basis which means that one does not need to work from nine to five. It can also be done home based so that one does not need to report to an office in order to work.
