It's been some time since we took a close look at this unique approach to screenwriting. The latest version just continues to improve in every area and some new features are especially nice.

Movie Outline 3.0 is an innovative Screenplay Outlining Application for both the new and professional screenwriter. It is completely focused on the storytelling process, not the script formatting process. The user interface is neat, clean and easy to understand and use.

Its work areas are organized into ten main views to gather the key information needed to create your story: Outline is where you create characters and outline the story, Characters helps you create believable characters that you can track throughout the story, Structure lets you divide the story into sections, Screenplay auto-formats your script as you type, Organize provides a visual view of the entire story on virtual index cards, Analyze helps you to visually compare your story's structure and pacing to a dozen Hollywood blockbusters and Present handles exporting the script to several formats and printing. Windows & Mac.

PRO SECRET #1: The secret that all the pros know — nothing sinks a script faster than bad dialogue, and nothing gets you noticed quicker than sparkling dialogue.

PRO SECRET #2: All great dialogue writers use a series of basic techniques.

PRO SECRET #3: The best way to learn how to write great dialogue is by example.

Let's face it, no matter how good your story is, if the dialogue is stilted your movie script, book or play won't make it to first base. It's the first way a film studio or book editor will assess how well you can write. But if you have sparkling, properly constructed dialogue your story and characters will leap off the page. We all need to improve our dialogue skills, but the books and courses on how to write dialogue are full of vague generalities that are of very limited help. You can load up on the books on how to write dialogue or take courses and easily spend about $1000, or you can buy Great Dialogue for only $19.95 and have a terrific dialogue tool by your side any time you need it.
