Copywriter (Freelance) – Programme Booklet & Creative Festival Copy
For Bucht der Träumer*, we're looking for a freelance copywriter to support us with our festival program booklet at short notice – with the opportunity to collaborate on creative festival content in the future, including website copy, newsletters, social media and storytelling.
What you’ll do
Your main focus will be the festival program booklet: editing and refining texts, giving them a consistent voice, and creatively expanding them where needed. Depending on timing and fit, the role may also include creative writing for festival communications.
Typical tasks (as needed):
- Editorial work / polishing programme booklet texts (shortening, smoothing, structure, tone of voice)
- Refining language to match our brand voice (and potentially helping evolve it)
- Optional: Creative copy for website/newsletter/posts (e.g., more playful formats, teasers, storytelling)
Who We're Looking For
We're not looking for standard SEO copy. We're looking for someone who can write creatively, has a strong sense of rhythm and voice, and enjoys capturing and shaping a distinctive tone.
You’re a great fit if you…
- have a strong background in creative writing with an excellent feel for tone of voice
- quickly understand a project/world and turn that into language
- communicate clearly, work reliably, and handle feedback well
- have short-notice capacity (starting now)
Terms
- Start: Immediately
- Pay: freelance / fee-based (details to be discussed)
- Scope: Flexible, depending on demand (with an immediate focus on the festival program booklet, and potentially additional writing projects afterwards)
- Working arrangement: Remote possible, with coordination taking place digitally
Application (with a short test task)
Please send:
- A few lines about you + links/writing samples
- Availability from now until the first week of September
- Your rate (hourly or project fee — whatever you prefer)
- Mini Task (Application Exercise): Choose two of the following tasks and write short text samples in the style of Bucht der Träumer*:
A) Programme booklet teaser (approx. 600–900 characters)
Topic: "Welcome / What Our Festival Is All About" – poetic, yet clear.
B) Website teaser (approx. 600–900 characters)
Topic: "What Awaits You at Bucht der Träumer*" – light, playful and inviting.
C) Heat tips newsletter (approx. 600–900 characters)
Topic: “What you can do to protect yourself from heat and dust”
(No need for perfection — we mainly want to see voice, tone, and approach.)
Please send everything together to crewlove@bucht-der-traeumer.de. We look forward to hearing from you!
