Keep reading, because VIDA Select is looking for talented, creative writers in Canada to join our expanding global team! The ideal candidate for this opportunity is naturally funny, witty, and able to write in a conversational and engaging style, all while accurately reflecting the voice of a diverse group of clientele.

You’ll need to adapt your voice to capture each client’s personality in a genuine, factually accurate, and age/gender appropriate way. In other words, you need to get into character for a diverse roster of clients. Many of our writers are novelists, script writers, etc., and have found it’s the perfect way to hone their character development skills!
