Apparently Amazon have just launched a new screenwriting software, Storyteller:
http://phoenix.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=176060&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=2114044 'Amazon today announced Amazon Storywriter, a free, cloud-based screenwriting software for writers of all levels to create movie and TV screenplays in standard format, offering an alternative to costly industry options. Also, in an effort to further enable talented writers to present their work for consideration and to expand its search for the next great movie or TV series, Amazon will now accept drama submissions and will no longer take a free option on scripts submitted directly to the amazonstudios.com site. Starting today, creators can simply log in with their Amazon account to access Amazon Storywriter. This writer-friendly software takes the pain out of formatting, with features including auto-format as you type and import/export of PDF, FDX and Fountain formats. Screenwriters can write online while their scripts are saved as they work, knowing all their material is being stored securely in the cloud. Additionally, they can write offline with a free installable Chrome app for Mac and PC.' There's probably evil Ts & Cs in there that someone will uncover, but thought I'd share in case anyone wants to take a look. Personally I use Celtx and am perfectly happy with that, can't really justify the expense on Final Draft but I know everyone swears by the software they use! If anyone does take the plunge with Storyteller, maybe report back on what it's like?
Guess who's back? Back again?

Interesting developments and further lowering the entry barriers to screenwriting... Will have to give the software a spin. Thanks Anthony

I don't trust them. I'm far happier with a software program installed on my own computer and using a third party cloud to store my files. If I'm writing the next big thing... I don't want those arseholes stealing it. Maybe I'm just too paranoid... but it keeps me safe, most of the time.

I believe the word 'if' at the start of the sentence absolves me of any modesty issues.
