Video Script Writer Skill

By Yana G.Y., Substack creator helping writers monetize their expertise through Substack, AI, and automation

Yana G.Y. isn’t a video person. She said it herself. But when she started posting on Substack, she realized something freeing: you don’t have to look polished or produce YouTube-level content. You can just show up as yourself.

The hard part wasn’t the camera. It was knowing what to say in front of it. Running a live is easy. Writing a script from scratch every week is not, especially when you’re already pouring your energy into your articles.

So she asked a simple question: why create something new every week when the content already exists in her writing? That question turned into this skill, a way to take an article she’d already written and turn it directly into a video script, no extra brainstorming required.

She uses it for more than video too. The short-form version doubles as the engine behind her daily subscriber emails, which she credits as a real driver of her business growth.

Enjoy.

Problem This Skill Solves

Writers and coaches produce plenty of long-form content, but turning that content into a video script is a different skill entirely. This prompt takes an article you’ve already written and converts it into a natural, conversational script ready to read on camera, in either a long-form or short-form structure depending on the platform.
