The Writing Process

Practical Scriptwriter is designed from the ground up to provide writers with an easy to use tool that removes the burden of formatting and reformatting a script.

Producing any finished script involves several stages:

  • Collecting Ideas
  • Story Development
  • Character Development
  • "Free Flow" writing of dialogue and action
  • Rereading and reworking the script to produce a final draft.
  • Producing printed Character Lists, Title Sheets and Script Synopsis etc
Practical Scriptwriter provides flexible, easy to use tools to help in all these areas, in one package.

One of the main benefits of using the software is you do not have to decide on the finished format of the script until you are ready to print it. Your script content is separated from the formatting information, so you can print your script as a Stageplay or TV Episode or a Screenplay. Forget reformatting every paragraph when you make a change - Practical Scriptwriter handles all that for you.

Ease of use is another strong feature. During development we have had input from professional writers, school children and complete beginners. We can confidently say our software is easy to use. If you want to just write a single page of a script, you will be able to write the dialogue and action and print out an industry standard formatted script page in minutes. With just a few mouse clicks you can print the same page as a Screenplay, TV Show Episode, Radio Play or Stage Play.
