Description

First Read is an innovative platform designed for voice profiling specifically aimed at professional screenwriters. By conducting a structured interview lasting about 30 minutes, it captures a writer's unique creative instincts and subsequently assesses their work against these personal benchmarks throughout the entire development process, from initial concept to the final production draft. Unlike AI writing tools that produce generic content, First Read prioritizes evaluation, offering feedback that is rooted in the writer's individual creative principles rather than relying on universal guidelines. The platform encompasses the complete television and film development pipeline, is capable of exporting to industry-standard FDX format, and provides document generation for pitch materials tailored to each writer's Voice Profile. Additionally, it offers a free 7-day trial with no need for a credit card, allowing writers to explore its features risk-free. This commitment to personalized feedback sets First Read apart as a valuable resource for those looking to refine their craft.

Description

In Highland, the emphasis is on the text itself, allowing you to bypass concerns about margins or formatting. Simply dive in and begin typing—don’t hesitate, just start. Maintain a blank line between paragraphs for clarity. When introducing a character, use UPPERCASE for their name, followed by their dialogue on the next line. With the Live Margins feature activated, Highland will take care of the indentation for you. If you need to include a parenthetical note, just place it within parentheses. Additionally, Highland automatically identifies scene headings such as INT. and EXT., along with transitions like CUT TO. After using certain character and location names, Highland will even suggest them for you in future entries. To see how your script looks, simply tap the Preview button or navigate to View > Go to Preview. You’ve now effectively conquered 90% of screenwriting with Highland. Notably, Highland 2 pioneered the inclusion of Gender Analysis, providing valuable insights into the representation of male and female characters in your narrative. This tool not only tracks how often characters speak but also measures the actual word count attributed to each gender. This feature can be instrumental in ensuring diverse and balanced storytelling.
