How to Write a Screenplay — AI Screenwriter
Every screen, stage, and speaker needs a story. Screenplays are the blueprint — the only document on a film set that everyone reads.
Industry-standard screenplay format: scene headings, action lines, character cues, and dialogue — exported to PDF, Final Draft (.fdx), or Fountain.
Industry-standard format is non-negotiable
Slug lines in ALL CAPS, action lines in present tense, character names centered above dialogue. Bookwright outputs exact Courier 12-point screenplay format because that's what readers, agents, and competitions accept.
One page is one minute
Bookwright targets ~1 page per minute of screen time. A 110-page feature reads as a ~110-minute film. The page count is set by the runtime you choose — feature, short, pilot, or limited series.
Logline, treatment, screenplay
Bookwright generates the logline and treatment alongside the script so you have everything an agent or producer asks for in the first email.
Frequently asked
- Can Bookwright write a feature screenplay?
- Yes. Pick Screenplay, choose Feature Film, and Bookwright produces a 90–120 page screenplay in industry-standard format with scene headings, action lines, and properly formatted dialogue.
- Does Bookwright export Final Draft format?
- Yes. Every screenplay exports as Final Draft (.fdx), Fountain (.fountain), and a screenplay-formatted PDF — the three formats agents, managers, and competitions accept.
- What's the difference between Fountain and Final Draft?
- Final Draft (.fdx) is the proprietary format used by Final Draft 13 and most studios. Fountain (.fountain) is a plain-text screenplay format readable by every modern tool — Highland, Slugline, WriterDuet, Celtx, and Final Draft itself. Bookwright exports both.
- Does Bookwright export to Final Draft or Fountain format?
- Yes. Every script Bookwright produces exports as Final Draft (.fdx), Fountain (.fountain), and a screenplay-formatted PDF in addition to plain text. Final Draft and Fountain are the two formats every professional screenwriter and theatrical software (Highland, Slugline, WriterDuet, Celtx, Final Draft 13) reads natively.
