BookZeta supports three script formats alongside its book types:

• Movie Script — a screenplay for film, 25 to 150 pages.
• Series Script — a single TV episode or pilot, 15 to 70 pages.
• Play Script — a stage play with acts and scenes, 25 to 150 pages.

All three come out in industry-standard layout automatically: Courier type, scene headings, centered character names, indented dialogue and parentheticals. You never format anything by hand. See Script formatting explained for what each element means.

How to create one

Scripts work in two modes:

• Quick Mode. Go to Create a Story, pick the script type, describe the story, choose a genre and page count, and the AI plans and writes the full script. Scenes average about three pages, so a 90-page movie script is roughly 30 scenes.
• Writer Studio. Create a script project from the Writer create screen to draft scene by scene in a screenplay editor with the AI assistant on tap. Auto-generate a complete draft first if you like: up to 40 scenes for movie and play scripts, up to 24 for a TV episode.

Advanced Mode and Graphic Mode do not apply to scripts. For a TV series, create each episode as its own script and group them with series and the Series Bible so characters stay consistent between episodes.

What's different from books

• Audiences and genres. Scripts are written for ages 12 and up, in fiction genres. Children's audiences and non-fiction genres (recipes, how-to guides, poetry and similar) aren't available for scripts.
• No audiobooks. Scripts can't be narrated. Stage directions and sluglines don't make listenable prose, so the audiobook options are hidden for script projects.
• No cover art in exports. Scripts follow the industry convention of a plain typed title page. If you choose minimal imagery, the generated art is used only as the thumbnail in your library and profile.
• Scene-based reading. In the online reader, the contents menu lists your scene headings (like INT. DINER - NIGHT) instead of chapter numbers.

What it costs

Generating a script uses Creation Points at the same rate as generating a book or novel. Writing and editing by hand is always free.
