A Word From Our Sponsor: Storyist

Script Frenzy is proud to have Storyist as a sponsor this year! Take it away, Steve!

Hi Everyone,
I'm Steve Shepard, the developer of Storyist and an avid Script Frenzy participant. April is fast approaching, and like many writers, you're probably trying to decide what software you're going to use this year. Fortunately, you have several good options. So why choose Storyist?

In her review of Storyist for Creative Screenwriting magazine titled "Mac users rejoice—this writing program gets it," Elizabeth M. Cosin, writer and executive story editor for 24 and Law & Order: Criminal Intent, says:

"Storyist is a combination powerful word processor and outlining program that features the kind of intuitive, easy-to-use interface that has made Apple a favorite among creative people. But more important, it's remarkable in its functionality for real-world writing."

What functionality? Storyist provides:

  • Automatic screenplay and stage play formatting, so you can focus on the writing, not the formatting.
  • A page layout view, so you can see your script pages as you write.
  • Live page count, so you can quickly update your stats here at the Script Frenzy site.
  • Customizable plot, character, location, and scene sheets, so you can sketch out your story elements and track them through the script.
  • A collage view, so you can visualize the relationships between your story elements.
  • Import and export to Final Draft, so you can have some flexibility in what you do with your finished script.
  • Full-screen mode, so you can shut out the distractions and write.
  • A workspace manager, so you can quickly set up your environment the way you like it.

You’ll find more information on the Storyist site at http://storyist.com/scriptfrenzy. There you can download a special Script Frenzy trial version that will let you use Storyist for free for all of April (and into May).

If you decide to purchase Storyist, you can get it for 30% off (through May 15th) using the coupon code "SCRIPTFRENZY10" at our online store.

Thank you for considering Storyist!

And whichever software you choose, good luck with your script!
