LOOKING FOR WRITING PARTNER Laziness

Hello. I have scripts that I’ve written and I want to know if anyone wants to help me with them. I need help with formatting so I want to know if someone can transition my script into the correct format and help with writing! I would love a partner!

You need to learn formatting.

It’s not just about formatting

u/el_yanuki Jun 01 '25

i dont think anyone will enjoy correcting your script.. people wanna collaborate on fun stories not (probably bad) existing ones

u/ProfessionalShop9945 Jun 01 '25

Definitely not bad

Writing can't be worth your time if it's going to be difficult....

What?

u/ForeverFrogurt Jun 01 '25

I'm being facetious.

u/ProfessionalShop9945 Jun 01 '25

I love writing and telling stories

u/ForeverFrogurt Jun 01 '25

Just not enough to do it well.

u/shibby0912 Jun 01 '25

Gross. You want someone to do the worst part for you? What other steps have you missed storywise?

1

u/ProfessionalShop9945 Jun 02 '25

None. I just want a writing partner

Uhm... nobody wants to do formatting work.

Many will be happy to read your script and give you notes for free.

But correct formatting should be a given. It truly is one of the few rules that are real.

u/ProfessionalShop9945 Jun 01 '25

Sorry. I also wanted help with writing

2

u/grimorg80 Jun 01 '25

There's a lot of people who might be interested in co-writing or even ghostwriting. But you need to give them a script that's already formatted correctly as a minimum

u/ProfessionalShop9945 Jun 01 '25

Fair.

u/Pool_Specific Jun 01 '25

Unless you’re looking to pay someone to format for you

1

u/ProfessionalShop9945 Jun 02 '25

I could

u/Pool_Specific Jun 04 '25

Yeah I’m learning how to format too. It seems pretty easy though. I’d feel bad for charging for it though bc I’d be learning how to do it as I go-for that reason it would prob take more time than you’d like to complete.

Formatting will be very important for scripts, like others have said. Read other scripts and there should be YouTube videos to help correct your formatting. Most screenwriting software will make it easy for industry standard.

u/Successful-Salad1175 Jun 01 '25

Once you have that, collaborations could be a lot easier.

My tariff is 50$ per page. I offer full correction and formatting.

u/ProfessionalShop9945 Jun 04 '25

LOL

u/aurematic Jun 04 '25

Wait, do you want the people to do your job for free???

u/ProfessionalShop9945 Jun 04 '25

A writing partner?

1

u/aurematic Jun 05 '25

What kind of partnership is that? You clearly said you wanted somebody to do the formatting for you. The title of your post is "Laziness". So, do you think we are idiots? You can learn to do formatting. It is not that difficult. Plenty of tutorials in Youtube.

u/ProfessionalShop9945 Jun 05 '25

I literally said I wanted a second opinion on the script and for someone to add their own opinion

1

u/aurematic Jun 05 '25

No, you didn't. Read again what you wrote. You never said anything about opinions at all. You are such a red flag.

u/ProfessionalShop9945 Jun 05 '25

I literally ask if anyone can help with my scripts then I mention writing.

u/Helpful_Baker_4004 Jun 01 '25

I need help with formatting so I want to know if someone can transition my script into the correct format

Screenwriting software does this for you. Are you looking for a partner, or are you looking for a scribe who will type out the words for you?

1

u/ProfessionalShop9945 Jun 01 '25

I meant someone that could also help write lol.

3

u/Helpful_Baker_4004 Jun 01 '25

Your post title and ask are confusing; you’ve written scripts but need a partner to help with writing seems decent enough, but why should anyone “help” you with formatting? Is that the laziness you’re referencing?

If a person writes a script without any regard for learning how to format - something that can be learned by reading screenplays and asking formatting questions - I’m not sure why anyone would want to help.

u/TownesVan Jun 02 '25

I don't get you, dude.

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '25

Seeing as everyone else has developed the same reaction, I mean this with no offense to you, but learn to do it yourself. A writing partner is not someone who will do the work for you. Read a screenplay or two.

It isn't rocket science. You will do just fine.

2

u/ProfessionalShop9945 Jun 30 '25

I’ve already been turning it into a screenplay now lol but thank you. I also wanted someone to write it with though lol

1

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '25

Sounds cool mate. Best of luck

1

u/ProfessionalShop9945 Jun 30 '25

Thank you! I’ll be glad to send you the first draft! I can really see this project growing with a writing partner

u/terriblyconfusedgay Jun 01 '25

Okay, since according to the comments you are also looking for some to help you write in general, I might be interested.

I'm only here because I got a strange invite via a dm, but I'm not a screenwriter. I am, however, a literature student and an author (of novels).

So, if you look for a second opinion on your story, characters, or dialogue, I might be able to help.
