INT. YOUR SEAT AT THE TABLE — DAY

Write with people who make you better.

If you have written for Pakistani television, you know the feeling. The 3 a.m. deadline. The scene you knew was weak but had no time to fix. The suspicion that your best work is still inside you, waiting for conditions that never come.

We built those conditions.

At Amtul Shahida, you write alongside people who catch what you miss and push what you settle for. Your dialogue gets read aloud before a producer ever sees it. Your plot gets stress-tested by writers who want it to succeed. You will work harder here than you ever did alone, and you will write better than you ever did alone.

What we look for

We are not hiring typists for other people's ideas. We want writers with a voice, an ear for how Pakistanis actually speak, and the humility to hear "this scene isn't working" without flinching. Produced credits help. A brilliant unproduced script helps more. Ego does not survive the room; talent thrives in it.

What you get

A seat at the table on real productions, with real credits
Fair, transparent compensation — per-episode rates agreed before writing begins, with on-screen credit on every produced episode
Craft development that no workshop can match, because the feedback comes from working writers on live projects
A writing life with colleagues instead of isolation

How to apply

Send us a writing sample of 10–20 pages, a one-page bio, and a short note on a Pakistani drama you believe deserved better writing — and why. We read everything. We respond to everyone.
