For screenwriters

DraftProse now
speaks screenplay.

Bring a script in from Fountain or Final Draft, work on it inside a real writing studio, and take it back out in either format. The same binder, corkboard, snapshots, and focus that novelists use, now with scenes that read like a screenplay.

ScreenplayScene 4 / 22

EXT. STREET - NIGHT

Rain slicks the asphalt. SAM, forties, steps out of the diner and pulls a collar up against the cold.

(to no one)

Forty years on this corner and it still surprises me.

INT. CAR - MOVING - NIGHT

I.

Both formats. Both directions.

Drop a .fountain or a .fdx and DraftProse lays it out as a binder of scenes: sluglines, action, character cues, parentheticals, dialogue, each typed and in its place. Export back to Fountain or Final Draft whenever you like, scene numbers intact. Your structure travels with you. Nothing is locked in, on the way in or the way out.

II.

A studio around the script.

A screenplay is more than its pages. Keep your scenes in a binder you can reorder, pin them to a corkboard, snapshot a draft before you cut into it, and write in a focused room with nothing else on the screen. Everything the studio already does for a novel, it now does for a script, in screenplay layout rather than prose.

III.

What this is not, yet.

We would rather underclaim. DraftProse is not, today, a production tool. There is no page-locked PDF at a minute per page, no colored revision drafts, no A-pages. If you need to lock pages for a shoot, finish in Final Draft; we will hand your script back cleanly when you go.

We are building the writer’s room, not the production office. We will say so plainly the day that changes.

IV.

The read, turned on your script.

Coming soon

The reason to keep a draft here is the read. The same whole-book structural read that maps a novel, turned on a script: your storylines traced across scenes, which characters carry which stretches, where a thread goes quiet and never returns. That work is underway, not finished, and we will not pretend otherwise. It is the next thing we are building, and it is the reason the formats came first.

V.

Hear it read aloud.

Cast each character a voice and play a scene back, dialogue read in character, a table read without booking the room. Switch on the table-read module in Settings and connect your own ElevenLabs key; the audio bills to your account, not ours, and stays encrypted on ours. It reads a chapter of a novel as readily as a scene of a script.

Open a script and see.

Free to start, with the full workspace. Import your .fountain or .fdx on the first screen, or start a blank screenplay and write.
