Read what some professionals have to say about Screenwriter:

"The way we work, the script changes moment by moment. Screenwriter helps us keep track of the revisions, making sure the latest draft is always in the director's hands."
Marc Levin—Slam, The Last Party

"Compared to what I was using, discovering Movie Magic Screenwriter was like coming out of a cave and finding everyone else living in houses."
Jeb Stuart—The Fugitive, Die Hard, Switchback

Key Features:

real time formatting -- see both tv & movie script formatting as you type. mores & continueds are automatically added. production features -- a & b pages, scenes, and revision marks are a snap. auto-recognitions -- type just a few letters of the desired character name, set, scene, etc., and screenwriter will enter it instantly. or hit enter to choose from a pop-up menu. tab/enter simplicity -- just hit the tab and enter keys to move between script elements such as character, dialogue, action, etc. script scanning - this feature scans the entire script looking for and correcting common formatting errors.

About Dramatica and StoryWeaver

Hi, I'm Melanie Anne Phillips, creator of StoryWeaver, co-creator of Dramatica and owner of Storymind.com.  If you have a moment, I'd like to tell you about  these two story development tools - what each is designed to do, how each works alone on a different part of story development and how they can be used together to cover the entire process from concept to completion of your novel or screenplay.

What They Do

Dramatica is a tool to help you build a perfect story structure.  StoryWeaver is a tool to help you build your story's world.

Dramatica focuses on the underlying logic of your story, making sure there are no holes or inconsistencies. 

StoryWeaver focuses on the creative process, boosting your inspiration and guiding it to add depth, detail and passion  to your story.

How They Do It

Dramatica has the world's only patented interactive Story Engine™ which cross-references your answers to questions about your dramatic intent, then finds any weaknesses in your structure and even suggests the best ways to strengthen them.

StoryWeaver uses a revolutionary new creative format as you follow more than 200 Story Cards™ step by step through the story development process.  You'll design the people who'll inhabit your story's world, what happens to them, and what it all means.

How They Work Alone

By itself Dramatica appeals to structural writers who like to work out all the details of their stories logically before they write a word.

By itself, StoryWeaver appeals to intuitive writers who like to follow their Muse and develop their stories as they go.

How They Work Together

But, the finished work of a structural writer can often lack passion, which is where StoryWeaver can help.  And the finished work of an intuitive writer can often lack direction, which is where Dramatica can help.

So, while each kind of writer will find one program or the other the most initially appealing, both kinds of writers can benefit from both programs.

Try Either Program Risk Free!

We have a 90 Day Return Policy here at Storymind.  Try either or both of these products and if you aren't completely satisfied we'll cheerfully refund your purchase price.
