Scene Stealer includes one story project — enough to find your footing. Act Master and Auteur are unlimited: develop as many stories as you like side by side.

Every project opens with a three-act structure ready to fill in — Act I, II, and III, each with scenes you can add, reorder, and break down. You're never starting from a blank void.

Story Review is free for everyone right now — no account needed. A confirmed eligible subscription or trial opens the workspace immediately, including before public launch. Your pre-launch trial still runs until January 1, 2027 — that's your first charge. Collaboration depends on your plan.

A real screenplay page in Courier with standard formatting: scene headings, action, character cues, parentheticals, dialogue, and transitions. Each scene also carries a goal, conflict, and outcome, and you can attach characters from your project's cast list.

Yes. Type a scene heading like EXT. ROOF - DAWN and it's recognized as a heading; a line in caps becomes a character cue; a line in parentheses becomes a parenthetical; what follows is dialogue; and endings like CUT TO: are treated as transitions. The script page formats each element the way a screenplay expects.

Your premise, acts, scenes, and characters live in one connected project. The outline sidebar, story breakdown, and script page are views of the same work — change a scene's summary and it's there when you export.

Yes — the editor autosaves as you write, and warns you before leaving with unsaved changes. Your dashboard tracks word counts, active projects, and deadlines you've set for yourself.

On Act Master and Auteur, yes. Invite a partner by email and they can read your drafts and leave feedback. Scene Stealer is a solo plan. Partners you invite get access to the projects you share with them — nothing else.

Partners read your draft snapshots and script pages, and leave feedback notes you can act on or remove. You stay in control: you can remove a collaborator at any time, and your drafts are private to you and the partners you invite.

No. There is no public gallery and no way for anyone you haven't invited to see your projects. Your work is private by default.

On Act Master and Auteur, yes. Version history records who edited what and when, and you can view any earlier version side by side with the current one.

No. Your own autosaves within a 10-minute window fold into a single version. A new entry starts when you come back later — or when a different collaborator edits, so you can always see exactly what your partner changed.

Yes. Restore any earlier version and it becomes the current draft — and the restore itself is recorded as a new version, so nothing is ever truly lost.

Yes — export a native .fdx file. Acts become act breaks, scenes become scene headings, action and dialogue map to the right elements, and your scene notes travel as non-printing summaries. Open it directly in Final Draft and keep working.

Export a .fountain file — both apps import Fountain natively. The export includes a proper title page (title, written-by, draft date, and your logline), act markers, forced scene headings, and clean dialogue with normalized line endings.

Because a script you submit needs your name on it. Set your pen name and contact details on your profile once, and every export's title page carries them — no more anonymous drafts.

Yes. Print or save to PDF from the script page and you get a real screenplay layout: US Letter, a 1.5-inch binding margin, 12-point Courier, roughly 55 lines per page, page numbers, and scene headings that never break awkwardly across pages.
