Apple just approved it. This is the moment. Here's what ScriptReader does: it performs your screenplay aloud to you. Your characters. Your dialogue. Your scenes. With distinct voices for every role. You stop reading your script and start hearing it — which means you catch what your eye skips right over. I built this for you. For us. And right now, the beta is open. First 50 people get to try it free. That's it. No waitlist after that. Here's all you do: Step 1 — Download TestFlight. It's Apple's free beta testing app (iOS only — Android coming later.). Takes 30 seconds. → https://apps.apple.com/us/app/testflight/id899247664 Step 2 — Once TestFlight is on your phone, tap this link to join the beta: → https://testflight.apple.com/join/BVXKtFRD You get 30 minutes free. Use every second. Then come back and tell me everything — good, bad, whatever you actually think. That's the deal if you're one of the 50 who downloads. That feedback shapes what this becomes. Also, these 3 questions are hugely important: 1. Did it work? Could you get your script in and hear it play back without hitting a wall? Yes or no — and if no, where did it break? 2. What surprised you? Good or bad. What did you learn about your script? 3. Would you pay for this? Based on what this cost me, I cannot give this away for free. So if yes, what's a fair monthly price? The link is live. The clock is running. Don't download unless you're committed to giving feedback. If you are, comment: 🔥 below. And let's get to work! Go. 🎬 Edit: there are def some spacing issues with how it differentiates between characters and action. They sometimes run together. This is something I’m addressing in the next build. This build is more about… does it work at all. And don’t forget to try the Forge Analysis and see how that reads.

Another week is about to start. Please get your pages and casting up on the link. Make sure you either place your pages on March 17 for Tuesday or March 20th for Friday on the program link above. Screenwriting is hard. You have to be very courageous to put yourself out there and be willing to accept that your pages will need to be rewritten, revised, and sometimes torn to shreds in the process of making something great. To paraphrase our fearless leader, David Stem, the magic happens when writers stop protecting drafts and start refining them in real time and revealing all of themselves to other writers.

This AI scriptwriting tool being included in the Premium membership (along with access to live workshop recordings and a couple other modules) is a huge plus. Over the weekend, I asked P F GPT questions like: “Can you give me an exercise to help refine my logline?” “What type of plot points am I allowed to reveal without spoiling the story to other writers who review my work?” “Do you also go by the name Forgie?” Each time, Forgie gave me thorough answers—The Writer’s Forge style. I do think that the GPT is promising in that it generates templates, provides examples, and ends each response with a question/prompt. This leaves the interaction open-ended, actionable, and potentially perpetual. In terms of feeding Forgie my logline or script for review, I’m a bit hesitant because I really don’t know what the cons are (if there are any). So I’d love to hear anyone’s thought process and/or experience re: sharing their work with the GPT or scriptwriting-specific AI platforms! 🙏

I'm one of the keynote speakers at Allegory Live. I'm going to be taking the Wound, The Lie and The Small life that I teach in workshops here. If you'd like to attend, one of our members who put this together has made a couple of tickets available. HMU here or DM me if you'd like to come. First come first serve. Thx. D
