Scriptwriting Software – Writing a Script for a Movie, Play, or Television Show

March 26, 2013 by pfeifer

Writing a script for a movie, play, or television show is very different than writing a novel, especially when it comes to the formatting of the pages. The process can be challenging and tedious when using just a regular word processor, but a good scriptwriting program can make formatting a script much easier.

To help get your scriptwriting career moving, we’ve organized a Scriptwriting Software directory that has all of the scriptwriting programs we could find. If you know of a program we have left out, please let us know and we will add it to our directory.

Note that if you are looking for a writing program oriented towards novels, short stories, or other types of writing, check out our Writing Software directory instead.

The most current version of the directory will always be on our Scriptwriting Software page. However, the list of programs as of today can also be found below.

Do You Do One Space or Two After the Period?

Bipartisan Tax Fairness and Simplification Act is not necessarily simple or fair.

Image by blmurch via Flickr A new tax bill has been introduced which proposes an odd mix of changes to the tax code while legalizing some things and escalating the criminality of others.

Yellowstone/Grand Teton Review, Day 7 – Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel, Mammoth Springs Dining Room, Albright Visitor’s Center, and Stops on the Way to Signal Mountain Lodge

Although the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel was quiet during the night, the hallways were rather noisy in the morning. This was not due to unruly guests, but due to the hotel’s design. The hallways are long and solidly built, but with high ceilings and widely spaced walls. The tunnel effect seemed to amplify sounds, making […]
