I have a completed drama screenplay that runs about 90–110 pages. Now I need it laid out in proper industry format so it’s ready to circulate to indie and boutique studios as well as the streaming platforms I’m targeting. The draft already contains all the dialogue and action, but it still sits in a rough Word document. Your task is to translate it into true screenplay form—Courier 12-pt, one-inch margins, consistent slug lines, accurate scene numbers if needed, and clean page breaks. Dialogue should follow the standard placement, with parentheticals, extensions and continued marks handled correctly; no unusual voiceover or off-screen conventions are required beyond the usual (but please tag any flashbacks clearly, as the story moves back in time several times). I’d like the finished file delivered in both Final Draft (.fdx) and PDF so I can send it straight out to readers. Please keep an eye on overall page count; the sweet spot is under 110 pages. If you spot any minor typos or spacing issues while formatting, feel free to polish them as you go. Deliverables: • Fully formatted screenplay in Final Draft (.fdx) • Matching print-ready PDF Acceptance criteria: • Consistent industry-standard layout throughout (Courier 12, proper margins, dialogue width, slug lines, transitions) • All flashback scenes clearly labeled and indented correctly • Final page count remains between 90 and 110 I’m working with a limited budget, but I value professionalism and quick turnaround. If you’ve scripted or formatted feature dramas before and can jump in right away, I’d love to hear from you.

Converting a rough draft screenplay into industry-standard format requires precision with Courier 12-pt spacing, margin alignment, and scene structure—details that determine whether studios take the work seriously.

Converting a 90–110 page drama screenplay from Word to industry-standard format requires precision across multiple technical dimensions: Courier 12-pt enforcement, margin consistency, slug line standardization, scene numbering logic, and proper dialogue placement with parentheticals and extensions.

Deliverables will include the native .fdx file and a print-ready PDF matching perfectly. All flashback sequences will be clearly labeled and indented per industry convention. Any minor typos or spacing inconsistencies caught during formatting get cleaned as standard. The turnaround timeline is tight; this job ships fast without sacrificing precision. Ready to move immediately. Let's get your screenplay studio-ready.

Industry-Standard Drama Script Formatting requires more than basic word-processing cleanup—it demands precision in Courier 12-pt spacing, margin consistency, and Final Draft compatibility where even minor misalignments can disrupt production workflows. Most formatted scripts fail on dialogue width and slug line uniformity, which directly impact how readers experience pacing. This project sits squarely in my wheelhouse. Fifteen years handling screenplay work, technical documentation, and publishing means the mechanics of Courier formatting, proper parenthetical placement, and flashback notation are routine. Final Draft export protocols and PDF print-ready standards are standard deliverables. The 90–110 page constraint is manageable, and spotting formatting inconsistencies while preserving your original intent comes naturally. Turnaround is immediate. You'll receive both the .fdx file and matching PDF within 48 hours, formatted to submission standards for indie studios and streaming platforms. Any minor typos or spacing drift caught during formatting will be polished—no charge. The finished product will be ready to circulate without revision. Ready to start immediately.

Hi, hope you are well :) A 90–110 page drama with flashbacks, moving parts, and a deadline to impress studios, that's exactly the kind of project I enjoy getting into. I'll be upfront: I don't have a long list of concurrent projects competing for my attention right now, which means your screenplay gets my full, undivided focus from day one. No juggling, no delays, no "I'll get to it tomorrow." You send it, I'm in. Here's what I'll deliver: A True industry-standard formatting: Courier 12-pt, 1" margins, proper slug lines, dialogue placement, parentheticals, and extensions, all handled correctly (or any other format you would prefer). Flashback sequences clearly labeled (FLASHBACK / END FLASHBACK) and consistently formatted throughout. A careful eye on page count to keep the final draft within your 90–110 page target. Minor typos and spacing cleaned up as I go, no extra charge. Both Final Draft (.fdx) and a print-ready PDF, ready to send straight to readers I work methodically, communicate clearly, and won't disappear mid-project. If something looks off as I format, a slug line that doesn't quite fit, a scene break that could breathe better — I'll flag it rather than just push through. Your budget is respected. My turnaround is fast. And your script gets the full attention it deserves. Send it over whenever you're ready, I'd love to get started :) Thanks for your time ^-^
