Can anyone format a script for me so it is in screenplay format?

Answer 1

You would have to pay someone to do that. It is too much work to do for a stranger for free.

Your best bet is to buy, SUCCESSFUL SCRIPTWRITING by Wolf and Cox. Its an easy guide to formating movie screenplays, teleplays and even cartoon script formats.

Get it at your local Book Store or go here on the web...,

You do not want to take a chance on a perfect stranger who says he or she will do it for free. They could steal it and unless you know how to copyright your work, you would be screwed! Obviously you dont know about proper copyright proceedure. BUY THE BOOK! It dont cost much and you learn allot.

Answer 2

There is a software title out there called Cinergy (just search Google or Yahoo for that name), which automatically formats a script into screenplay form as you type. I am not sure if it will convert a document already written in another format into a screenplay, or if you'll have to retype it. It's worth taking a look at, and the basic version of the software is a free download.

Answer 3

The Writer's Market Library publishes "Formatting & Submitting Your Manuscript." It covers screenplays and television scripts (no, they are not the same) and gives advice on query letters and submission.

They have a large library of scripts you can view for free.
