Improving Quality and Efficiency

My Screenwriting Project™ is designed as a performance support tool. That's business jargon for something that improves the quality and efficiency of one's work. Dave Trottier's Dr. Format™ Screenwriting Software and Final Draft™ are two good examples of performance support tools for drafting, editing and printing scripts. They're great! They really improve the quality and efficiency of script formatting.

But there's a lot more that goes on before one even begins drafting a script, as any reader of The Screenwriter's Bible™ can attest. And that's where My Screenwriting Project™ comes in. It's  designed to improve the quality and efficiency of all those preparatory and ongoing information management tasks, like:

• getting your basic thoughts and ideas on your screenplay together, edited and reordered;
   
• developing and organizing your ideas about your characters, their personality, needs, motives, allies and opponents, strengths, weakness, etc.;
   
• producing, revising and reordering and printing scene lists, step outlines and cards;
   
• producing and revising character and action grids and character arcs;
   
• organizing, documenting, revising , retrieving and printing notes and other information on plot, characters, action, dialog, subtext, backstory, turning points, research findings, story and character issues, and much more.

That's a lot of information to create, manage and use. My Screenwriting Project™ supports you in performing all these tasks.  Just as Dr Format is built on the power of MS Word word processing capabilities, My Screenwriting Project™ is built on the power of MS Access database capabilities.

Pricing & Versions

The Screenwriter's Bible (4th Edition) retails for $22.95 (plus shipping and/or tax). Accordingly, My Screenwriting Project™  costs just $20* for a single, personal version (and even less for educational users). The price is low (as software goes) because:

• it will be available for download over the internet;
   
• the downloaded version will be in trial mode but can be activated to a full, unlimited personal version by installing a software license;
   
• the license can be paid for, issued and registered, automatically, over the internet;
   
• there are many potential users, people who already own The Screenwriter's Bible or who will buy the book; and
   
• I don't  need to ask a higher price, since I'm  retired--but not rich.

As a retired educator--and that's why I'm not rich--I am well aware of the fiscal constraints with which faculty and students must cope. I want to make My Screenwriting Project™ very affordable.

For those who teach screenwriting and want their students to have the benefits of My Screenwriting Project™ a 15-user educational license is only $90 ( $6 per user) and a 30-user license is $150 ( $5 per user). The educational license key disables the advanced, 'Export' options.

Students use the software with the instructor's educational license. Those students who want a fully functional, personal version can upgrade to a personal license for $10.

Now if you haven't taken a look at some of My Screenwriting Project™'s features, why not do it, now?
