One More Draft
Build your novel, screenplay, or pilot beat by beat using proven frameworks - Save the Cat, Three-Act, and more - with Quill, an editor that understands your characters, world, and themes.
Quill guides and steers - never writes. The words on the page stay yours, always.
Free forever for the writing workspace. Quill and Greenlight priced via OMD Credits.
Write offline in the real One More Draft editors - screenplays and manuscripts both - then sign in with a free account and your work syncs to the cloud. Start on your desktop, pick up on the web right where you left off.
Desktop screenwriting software often costs $200 or more. One More Draft Desktop is free - and it writes novels too.
One More Draft is a writing workspace plus a community of writers. Use it solo from day one; bring in feedback when you're ready.
Save the Cat (15 beats) for screenplays, Three-Act (8 beats) for anything. The beat sheet appears pre-populated with structural purpose for each beat.
Drag-reorder, autosave, and ask Quill for editorial notes when you want a second opinion. Add characters, world elements, and themes. Everything stays in sync.
Submit beats or your full story to the peer review queue. Strict 1:1: give a review to earn a review.
When you want professional-grade coverage, Greenlight runs a multi-page report - or browse verified human pros in the Marketplace.
Beat sheets with structural guidance baked in. Characters, world, and themes stay grounded in your story bible - and Quill's notes draw on all of it.
Peer review with structured rubrics, reviewer ranks, and a strict give-to-get economy. No drive-by feedback.
Four tiers of coverage: Quick (gut check), Coverage (full pass), Deep (structural critique), and Producer's Pass (scene-by-scene). Pay only for what you use.
Forums, private collab spaces, 1:1 messaging, and Hall of Fame for stories that get made. All free for everyone.
As someone who has dedicated their life to theatre & film storytelling, I've tried a plethora of screenwriting softwares. I found many of them to be irksome, some of them to be serviceable, and only a select few to be worth my time and money. Yet none of them have cultivated my imagination like One More Draft. Because, not only does One More Draft deliver the same crucial tools I require to write at my best, it provides me with instant intuitive support, and optional services that challenge my ideas to make them better. With One More Draft, I can rest assured I'm continuing on the best road possible to tell the story I want to produce. It's a breath of fresh air. It's the bottle you catch your lightning in. It's the best damn writing assistant you'll never have to buy a coffee for. Because, short of having someone else write it, it's the best help a screenwriter can get.
I am impressed with how clean and thought through One More Draft is. The daily writing prompts are genuinely good, specific, and evocative.
