WriterDuet is a screenwriting software for writing and editing screenplays and other forms of mass media.

History

WriterDuet was founded in 2013 by Guy Goldstein.[1]

In April of 2015, WriterDuet acquired the domain for Scripped.com after they closed, citing a serious technical failure.[2]

In August of 2016, WriterDuet released a localized version of its software in China.[3]

In May of 2018, WriterDuet included Bechdel test analysis functions to address issues of gender diversity in the screenwriting industry.[4]

Features

WriterDuet is primarily used to outline, write, and format screenplays to the standards recommended by the AMPAS. It also supports formats for theater, novels, and video games. The software is powered by Firebase allowing users to write together in real-time from multiple devices.[5]

WriterDuet's main competitors in the screenwriting industry are Final Draft, Celtx, and Movie Magic Screenwriter.[6]
