    Turn Google Docs™ into a professional screenwriting suite.
    
    Final Draft is the most expensive, most frustrating screenwriting software in the industry. And somehow it's still the standard. Screenplay Editor changes that. Same Hollywood formatting, same .fdx export, but inside Google Docs™, where your team already works.
    
    WRITE
    Type INT. or EXT. and scene headings format themselves. Press Tab for characters, Enter for dialogue. Paste a messy draft, hit Format My Document, and watch it snap into place in seconds. Manual or auto mode, your call. Scene headings, action, dialogue, parenthetical, transitions, all handled.
    
    STUDIO
    Scene Board: every scene on a card. Drag, drop, restructure. Your script updates itself. AI Table Read: hear your screenplay out loud with a different AI voice for each character. Screenplay Preview: see your script as a real printed page while you write, before you hit export.
    
    SHIP
    Production Breakdown: AI-powered scene-by-scene breakdown. Cast, props, wardrobe, SFX, everything extracted in one click. Export to Final Draft: industry-standard .fdx format, ready to send.
    
    WHY WRITERS SWITCH
    Google Docs™ collaboration. Comments, suggestions, live co-writing. No proprietary file format locking your work. No $250 license. Your scripts stay in your Google Drive™. We never read, store, or access your content.
    
    Free to start. $5/month when you're ready.
