For Screenwriters

Screenwriters writing novels. Different format, same craft.

You know structure. Typewriter handles the rest.

Screenwriters understand story structure better than anyone. Three acts. Beat sheets. Character arcs. But novels are different. Longer scenes. Interior monologue. Description. Pacing measured in pages, not minutes.

Typewriter bridges the gap. It gives you the structural tools you're used to, a chapter binder, a story bible for tracking characters and plotlines, plus the prose-specific features you need. Focus mode. Word targets. Print-ready export.

How screenwriters use Typewriter

Chapter structure for act-based thinkers

Organize your novel by chapter and scene, just like you'd organize by act and sequence. Drag to reorder. Set word targets per chapter to control pacing.

Story bible for character and plot tracking

Track characters, locations, plotlines, and timeline in a structured story bible. Same discipline as a series bible, built into your editor.

AI for prose expansion

Screenwriters write tight. Novels need more. Typewriter's AI can help expand sparse prose into full scenes, adding description and interiority while keeping your voice.

Focus mode for long-form sessions

Screenwriting is fast. Novel writing is slow. Focus mode helps you settle into longer sessions with ambient sounds, sprint timers, and distraction-free editing.

Questions

Can Typewriter format screenplays?

Typewriter is built for prose, not screenplay format. If you're writing a novel, it's the right tool. For screenplays, use Final Draft or Highland.

Does the AI understand narrative structure?

Yes. Typewriter's AI reads your full manuscript including story bible entries. It understands your character arcs, plot structure, and pacing.

Can I outline my novel before writing?

Yes. Use the story bible's plotline category to outline your acts, sequences, and beats before writing chapters. The AI references your outline as you draft.
