How our script formatting service works:

Script Formatting Service Step 1 - script girl hammering a screenplay

Step 1) You place your order then we ask for your script file

After you add the service to your cart and checkout, you’re directed to an easy upload page where you upload your script file.

Script Formatting Service Step 2 - script girl spraying typos with a bug sprayer

Step 2) We put your script into standard film industry script format and fix any errors

Every line of your script will be assigned a specific screenplay element (scene header, action/description, dialogue, transitions, etc.), with all margins, tabs, and spacing set according to film industry standards. Your script is then checked for misspelled words, misused words (you’re/your, etc.), punctuation problems, and other typos, and then we fix ’em.

Script Formatting Service Step 3 - script girl handing back shiny script on platter

Step 3) We send you back your professionally formatted script

You’ll receive your finished, formatted script in several file formats for future use: Final Draft, Fade In, Fountain (Highland 2, Slugline, Beat), RTF (Microsoft Word/Google Docs), and PDF.

Turnaround time for the script formatting service

Turnaround time for script formatting is approximately 5 business days. If you also would like to include our script coverage service, please add another 3 business days or so.

Script formatting may require more work and a higher rate

$350 is our base rate, and 99% of scripts we format are charged that base rate. But if your script requires way more work, or is over 120 pages (we count every 250 words as a screenplay page if we can't determine an accurate page count), we may need to charge more. If that's the case, don't worry: we'll contact you with a new quote before any work begins and you can either move forward or we can refund your entire order.
