You ever seen a real Hollywood screenplay? Maybe you have, maybe you haven't. One thing every screenplay I've ever seen has in common is the font: Courier. It may be Courier New, Courier Final Draft, Courier Prime, but the variations are minimal. Courier is the font of screenplays.
A lot of people think screenplays are all pretty much alike, they're written the same way and they have the same formatting, the same cues, the same call-outs.
Nope. In a real sense, the style of a screenplay is as unique to a screenwriter as a fingerprint. A really good screenwriter has a voice all their own, a voice that stands out among hundreds or thousands of screenplays out there.
A bad screenwriter stands out by doing stupid things, like using Comic Sans font instead of the industry standard Courier. Those scripts get tossed into the trash.
Do you want to be a really good screenwriter? Comic Sans Screenwriting is for you. We're here to help your work stand out as dramatically as if you'd used a Comic Sans font, in a way that doesn't get your script tossed into the trash but instead gets your script read by people who can turn your words into a movie.
Like that idea? Then come along for the ride...
