Amazon has announced the launch of a free, cloud-based program that makes it easier for budding writers to create movie and TV screenplays. Amazon Storywriter
will let users submit work directly to Amazon Studios and the company
says it will store an unlimited number of scripts imported into and
written on the platform.
In addition it will now be accepting
drama submissions and will no longer take a free option on scripts
submitted directly to the Amazonstudios.com site.
Previously, Amazon
only accepted submissions for feature films, primetime comedy series for
adults, and series for children aged 2 to 14.
Amazon Storywriter will automatically format and save scripts as
they’re written and Chrome users will have the option to install an app
that makes the software available offline. Additionally, the app lets
writers import scripts they’re already working on. It supports PDF and
RTF file formats, as well as FDX (Final Draft filetype) and Fountain (a
screenwriting markup language). The program can also export work in
these formats.

Before the Amazon Studios Submission Agreement
was updated, the company would take a 45-day unpaid option when
receiving scripts and it would pay $10,000 if it wanted to extend that
period. Now, if the company is interested in a script, it will offer a
paid option that matches or exceeds any applicable guild minimum and
the writer can choose to accept or reject the offer.
Amazon’s children’s TV show ‘Gortimer Gibbon's Life on Normal
Street,’ which has just been renewed for a second season, is a series
that came to the company via its script submission program.
“Amazon Studios is looking for movie and series ideas to turn into
great entertainment, and has an open door for every talented creator,”
Amazon said on its website. “You can submit your finished movie or TV
script to Amazon Studios from directly within Amazon Storywriter by
selecting ‘Submit to Amazon Studios’ from the drop-down menu on the
right side of any script or draft.”
