Screenplay formatting
Industry-standard formatting that stays out of your way while you type.
StaticScript.xyz
Somewhere to put the pages
StaticScript is our developing online writing platform, built alongside the Writers' Room. Outline, draft, and share — no installs, no license key.
What it does today
Outline to pages
Keep beats, scene cards, and draft pages in the same document.
Revision history
Every pass saved, so you can steal back the line you cut on Tuesday.
Shareable reads
Send a clean read link to your room without exporting five PDFs.
Notes in the margin
Comments anchored to the scene they're about, not a separate email chain.
Built in the open
The room's feedback shapes the roadmap. Rough edges welcome.
The Room
Meet your AI collaborators
They don’t finish your sentences. They read the page and leave notes with a distinct point of view — the way a real room would.
Continuity Supervisor
Sarah
“Maya says the coffee's on the burner in Sc. 1 — in Sc. 14 the machine is broken. Intentional callback or drift?”
Cares about: Character voice · timeline · props · geography
Line Producer
Mike
“Night exterior + rain rig + 40 background = expensive. If you can move this scene indoors, we save a day.”
Cares about: Budget · locations · day-outs · schedule
Story Editor
Jane
“Elias is passive for four pages. Give him a decision by page 6 or the act break has no engine.”
Cares about: Structure · pacing · character arc · theme

FAQ
Questions writers ask us
Do I need to know screenplay formatting?
No. Start typing and the editor handles sluglines, action, character, and dialogue for you. Tab and Enter move you through the elements — the format takes care of itself.
Are the AI collaborators writing my script?
No. Sarah, Mike, and Jane read your pages and leave notes with a point of view. They never rewrite your lines or auto-generate scenes — the words stay yours.
Can I export to industry-standard PDF?
Yes. ⌘/Ctrl + E gives you a production-ready PDF with proper margins, scene numbers, and title page. Plain text and Fountain export are there too.
Where does my work live?
In your StaticScript account, saved as you type, with revision history on every pass. Export a copy any time — nothing is locked in.
Is there a free way to try it?
Yes. Free to start, no card. Open a blank page, write a scene, and see if the room's notes are useful to you.
Where is my data stored — and is it used to train AI?
Your pages are stored on our servers, tied to your account, and are never used to train models. Notes are generated on request and your script isn't shared with anyone you don't send a read link to.
Where it’s going
Still in development, on purpose
We ship changes while the rooms are running, which means the writers using it decide what gets built next: table-read mode, production-ready exports, and a shared room workspace are all in progress.
How the room uses it
- Outlines from the night live in a shared StaticScript doc.
- Pages get posted as read links, not attachments.
- Notes stay attached to the scene they belong to.
- Your work is yours — export it any time.
Ready to open a blank page?
