Award winning Screenwriter, Industry Standard Creator Story that sells
About this Gig
You've done the hard part, you wrote the script. Now let's make sure it gets the attention it deserves.
I know what it feels like to stare at a page at 2 a.m., tweaking one line of dialogue until it finally sounds right. You've lived with these characters. You've rewritten scenes until they clicked. And now, your story deserves to be seen by people who matter: contest judges, producers.
But here's the truth: even the most powerful story can get overlooked if the formatting is off.
That's where I come in.
I take your raw draft, messy, handwritten, or unformatted, and transform it into a polished, industry-standard screenplay using professional tools:
What I deliver:
- Proper Courier 12 font and margins
- Correct scene headings, transitions, and character cues
- Clean pagination that meets Academy Nicholl guidelines
A professional look that says: this writer means business
I never touch your creative voice. No rewrites. No unsolicited opinions. Just clean, respectful formatting so your story can shine.
Why writers trust me:
- Obsessive attention to detail
- Reliable, fast turnaround because deadlines matter
Your script has what it takes. Let's make sure it looks the part.

FAQ
What script format should I use for storytelling?
For narrative films, short stories, or web series, use the Standard Screenplay Format (12pt Courier font, 1-inch margins, scene headings, action lines, dialogue blocks). Celtx and StudioBinder apply this automatically when you select the “Screenplay” template.
How should dialogue be formatted?
Write the character name in ALL CAPS, centered above their lines, with dialogue indented underneath. Parentheticals (e.g., whispering) should be in parentheses under the character name, before the dialogue.
How do I indicate action or description?
Action lines go under the scene heading, written in the present tense. Avoid overly long paragraphs—keep it punchy and visual.
Can I add camera directions?
Yes, but use sparingly. Over-directing can distract from the story. Only include camera cues (e.g., CLOSE ON, PAN TO) when they are essential to the narrative.
How do I handle flashbacks or montages?
For a flashback, indicate it in the scene heading: For a montage, you can write “MONTAGE –” followed by short bullet-like scene snippets.
Can Celtx or StudioBinder export to industry formats?
Yes. Both can export to PDF in industry-standard screenplay layout. Celtx also supports .fdx (Final Draft) format.
How do I share my script with collaborators?
Both platforms allow you to share via a secure link or invite collaborators directly. StudioBinder integrates with shot lists and schedules; Celtx has built-in production planning.
How do I add notes for myself without them appearing in the final script?
Use the built-in “Notes” or “Comments” feature in the side panel. These won’t export to the final PDF.
Is formatting different for storytelling podcasts or audio dramas?
Yes. Use an Audio Script Format, which may include sound cues (SFX), music directions, and narrator lines instead of scene headings.
