This is exciting times for screenwriters trying to break through. It seems that Amazon might want your screenplay, and it’s trying to make it easier for you to create it. Amazon said today that is is broadening its script-submission policy, and they have also introduced formatting software to help writers with their work.
Amazon Storywriter is a free, cloud-based program for scribes of all levels that facilitates the creation of movie and TV screenplays in standard format. Features include as-you-type auto-formatting and the importing/exporting of PDF, FDX and Fountain formats. The material is stored in the cloud.
“Amazon is thrilled to support the evolution of our creative community by offering advanced tools like Amazon Storywriter to assist both established and aspiring writers in telling their stories,” said Roy Price, VP of Amazon Studios. “Amazon is dedicated to producing high-quality, original films and television series that customers love, and enabling more writers to obtain access to creative resources will ultimately help us discover great new talent.”
