To whom this may concern, I am writing this cover letter in response to the listing of the Spontaneous Application. As a driven and dedicated Writer, I feel as though I would bring characters to life with my writing to make sure that I could create an environment that has characters that feel immersive and realistic to the people playing it. Some of my best work comes from the genres such as action, detective noir types, romance and Sci-Fi pieces. Before becoming a freelance writer, I was a film studies student which meant I had to write a lot of stories varying in genre, but along with writing stories, I also had to write an entire screenplay that had to be around 3,000 words for my final piece. I have been writing stories for around 10 years, professionally and personally and thanks to my film studies education I think I had more skill than I did previously before doing that course. I also worked as a writing intern for a large company with over 500 employees, I worked with them for 3 months as a writer, writing mostly long posts but I had a lot of creative freedom. I worked as a Youtube Scriptwriter writing 1700-1900 words per script and these scripts needed very irregularly but I managed to write them in 2 hours so I can finish tasks very quickly. As well as that scriptwriting job, I also briefly worked with a team where I wrote very short stories and synopses. Additionally, I also believe that my skills are: Efficiency, I am efficient with all tasks that I am given due to my drive and passion that I have with every project that I undertake I am able to help out people with tasks that they may find difficult and I think that is one of my favourite qualities in myself, being able to help the other people around me with things that they may struggle with I maintain up to date information on things in the general pop culture world so that I can stay on top of everything that I’m working on As a part of your team, I will bring drive and passion into every project that I am given. Please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience so we can discuss the position and requirements for the position in more detail. Thank you for your time and consideration, Sincerely, Liv Burden
