Script has been the leading source for information on the craft and business of writing for film and television for over 11 years. Script is now part of the Final Draft family of products and many new content features have been added. Each bi-monthly issue delivers informative articles on writing, developing and marketing screenplays and television scripts. The editorial content is for writers, by writers. Most of the articles are written by working writers and development executives. Additionally, agents, managers and entertainment attorneys contribute regularly. Script offers substance, style, inside information, news, trends and authoritative advice on how to write and sell a script in today’s challenging market.
Each issue brings you the following regular features:
