What are the responsibilities and job description for the Creative Writer position at Can of Soup?
Hi, my name is Gabriel and I'm the co-founder of Y/n.
Y/n is an app where you can play fun interactive stories. For example, you can play a boarding school transfer student and get the boys to fall in love with you, or figure out a jailbreak with Sherlock Holmes. Your choices change the story and how characters feel about you (oops!) — so no two playthroughs are the same.
A Few Facts About Y/n
It’s a new job, one that requires deep clarity about what makes for great writing. It’s also extremely fun. Not a lot of companies can pay you to work in writing, but we will!
