Leveraging AI and predictive algorithms, Inkitt discovers unknown stories and turns them into blockbuster hits, producing a new $1M ebook every 7 days and selling directly to consumers through its Inkitt Galatea app. Bestsellers are then translated onto the screen through Inkitt CandyJar, the #1 US-based microdrama platform with billions of episodes streamed to date, and Inkitt Ironblood, the world's first streaming app for superhero, sci-fi and action stories.
Inkitt has become the 11th most bestseller-generating publisher in the world, boasting a 40x higher hit-rate than traditional publishers.
Backed by some of the top VC’s such as: Khosla, Kleiner Perkins, and NEA Ventures, our recent expansion into Ironblood, the first AI Native streaming platform for action and adventure, is only the beginning of our journey to becoming the next-gen entertainment powerhouse.
What You’ll Do:
- Episodic/longform cutdowns with cliffhanger endings
- Dialogue trailers (twist reveals, villain POV, power-scaling/versus edits, lore drops, fight-choreo montages)
- Comment-overlay hook edits
- Fan-edit style content (thirst traps, theory breakdowns, trend-driven cuts)
- Streamer/reactor-cam reaction overlays
- "XL headline" trailers layering in social proof (rankings, trending call-outs, etc.)
IronBlood is a new AI-native streaming app from Inkitt, built exclusively around action, sci-fi, and superhero content — bold, cinematic, and mobile-first. We're building out our freelance creative roster and looking for video editors and designers who can turn raw footage and AI-generated assets into scroll-stopping social ads and content, fast.
This is ongoing work for the right freelancer(s) — we're looking to build a reliable roster, not a one-off gig.

- Able to turn around finished edits in 1–3 days
- Comfortable working across multiple content formats and styles within the same week

- Strong sense of hook, pacing, and what makes someone stop scrolling in the first 1–2 seconds
- Reliable communication and file delivery (Frame.io, Drive, Dropbox, etc.)
Nice To Have:

- Motion graphics / VFX / After Effects skills
