Instagram Content Creator/Social Media Strategist for Emerging Author

September 15, 2026

I’m looking for a creative Instagram content creator/editor and social media strategist to help me build the online presence of my writing page.

I’m a writer and I’m working toward eventually publishing a novel (in 1 to 2 years). My long-term goal is to build an audience of genuine readers who connect with my writing and storytelling before the novel is released.

What I need help with

- Content creation

- Aesthetic Instagram posts featuring my original poems, short stories, excerpts, and writing

- Cinematic Reels based around my writing

- Creative backgrounds, visuals, typography, and video editing

Turning individual pieces of writing into visually engaging social-media content

- Creating reusable templates while keeping the page from feeling repetitive

- Helping develop a recognizable visual identity

- DO NOT GENERATE as it is from AI, its fine to use it to modify or help.

- I also need help building an audience around me as an author.

- I don't just want followers for the sake of numbers. I want to gradually attract people who genuinely enjoy poetry, fiction, storytelling, books, and writing.

I'd like help with:

- Organic audience-growth strategy

- Instagram content strategy

- Reels designed for reach and engagement

- Ideas for literary content that people actually want to share/save

- Building a recognizable author identity

- Understanding what types of content perform well

Important:

All writing and creative concepts are mine.

I will provide the poems, stories, excerpts, ideas, themes, and overall creative direction.

I am not looking for someone to write my content. I need someone who can take my words and translate them into compelling visuals, Reels, and social-media content.

I also want the final content to retain an authentic, human, literary feel, rather than looking overly corporate or AI-generated.

Who I'm looking for:

- Has a strong eye for aesthetics

- Understands literary/author branding

- Can create cinematic Reels

- Is comfortable with typography and visual storytelling

- Understands Instagram and organic growth

- Can bring creative ideas rather than simply following templates

-.Is comfortable receiving feedback and refining concepts

- Ideally loves books, poetry, fiction, or storytelling

- Is interested in potentially working long-term as the page grows

Budget: 5$ per post / reel

We will be posting alot and I'll give bonuses too based on performance.
