Amazon Storywriter – a Simple Free Auto-Formatting Scripting Tool for the Web
When it comes to software, scripting tools are generally expensive, but Amazon has released a free tool called Storywriter that provides a simple scripting tool that is stored directly in the cloud.
Amazon Storywriter automatically formats dialog, transition, and action descriptions. The only font choice is Courier. It is exported to PDF, FDX or Fountain. The app also comes with a Chrome extension that allows you to work offline . You can also submit your script directly to Amazon Studios from within the app if you like, but keep in mind that there is a rather large clause of “similar content” agreement detailing exactly what Amazon can take from your script, not giving you no credit. The app itself is pretty basic when it comes to scripting tools, but the free price tag is an attractive option for anyone looking to start scripting.
