Amazon announced Amazon Storywriter, a free, cloud-based screenwriting software for writers of all levels to create movie and TV screenplays in standard format, offering an alternative to costly industry options. Also, in an effort to further enable talented writers to present their work for consideration and to expand its search for the next great movie or TV series, Amazon will now accept drama submissions and will no longer take a free option on scripts submitted directly to the amazonstudios.com site.
Creators can simply log in with their Amazon account to access Amazon Storywriter. This writer-friendly software takes the pain out of formatting, with features including auto-format as you type and import/export of PDF, FDX and Fountain formats. Screenwriters can write online while their scripts are saved as they work, knowing all their material is being stored securely in the cloud. Additionally, they can write offline with a free installable Chrome app for Mac and PC.
Submitting your screenplay to Amazon Studios
Amazon Studios is looking for movie and series ideas to turn into great entertainment, and has an open door for every talented creator. You can submit your finished movie or TV script to Amazon Studios from directly within Amazon Storywriter by selecting “Submit to Amazon Studios” from the drop-down menu on the right side of any script or draft. You will need to fill out details about your submission on the Amazon Studios site.
