I will professionally format your script

Every script reader at the studio is able to spot a newbie screenwriter just by the look of the script. The way you put words on the page tells as much about your professional skills and experience as story structure or subtle meaning of the dialogues.

Here are the basic rules:

• 12-point Courier font

• 1.5 inch left margin

• 1-inch right margin (between .5 inches and 1.25 inches)

• 1 inch top and bottom margins

• Approximately 55 lines per page, regardless of paper size. This does not include the page number or spaces after it.

• Dialogue speaker names (in all caps) 3.7 inches from the left side of the page (2.2 from margin)

• Actor parentheticals 3.1 inches from the left side of the page (1.6 from margin)

• Dialogue 2.5 inches from the left side of the page (1.5 from margin)

• Pages should be numbered in the top right corner, flush to the right margin, a half-inch from the top of the page. Numbers should be followed by a period. The first page is not numbered.
