Collaborator 3 PLUS!
The original Plot and Character formatting program, reborn as
Collaborator 3. Consists of a query system which asks questions
not only about the plot, characters, and motivation, but also
about the prospective audience and their interest in the story.
Based on the original Aristotelian dramatic principles of story
structure. New: Printable Index card manager, Conflict arena,
Character and Plot banks. Quickcheck gives instant graphic
analysis. Spellcheck/Thesaurus.
Collaborator 3 PLUS! adds "First Cut", write
your screenplay into our formatter, sets its own proper margins
for dialogue and characters. Then export to the major script
formatters for final polish! Also expands the character and
settings entry areas.
An entirely new method of "storyforming".

kinds! Designed for the beginning writer or student.
Screenwright
A brand-new tool for screen writers, a college course in script writing on your computer.
A Handy script analysis program which works on the "Query" system - you tell it all about your plot and characters, it tells you if the script is marketable!
The following two programs are quite similar. Both present the
user with the equivalent of a corkboard wall and a set of file
cards. The user writes ideas on the cards and moves the cards
around to attach to other cards, or to form chains of ideas, or
even to attach characters to various scenes. An excellent idea,
useful not only for writers but also for organizing ideas in any
discipline.
For Windows only:
This program gives the user a bulletin board and file cards to
write ideas on, and the ability to move those ideas around on the
board as if it were a real corkboard in your office.
