Treat this tool output as a decision support layer, not a replacement for authorship. Great scripts are remembered for specific choices, emotional precision, and clarity of dramatic movement. Tools help by removing noise so your energy can go where it matters: character, conflict, escalation, and payoff. If you review outcomes after each pass and keep an explicit log of accepted changes, your workflow becomes faster and more predictable from draft to draft. That consistency is exactly what professional collaborators value: fewer surprises, clearer rationale, and a script that evolves with intent.
Extended FAQ

FAQ – screenplay title page & cover page
Below are common questions about formatting a screenplay title page and using this free generator.
The screenplay title page (also called a cover page or front page) is the very first page of your script. It shows the title, the writer's name, and contact details. Readers and assistants see it before anything else, so it needs to look clean and professional. A correctly formatted title page signals that you understand industry standards.
Yes. Courier 12 pt (or Courier New / Courier Prime) is the long-standing standard for screenplays. It is monospaced, which keeps page count and reading rhythm consistent. Using Courier 12 pt on your title page and in your script is strongly recommended, especially when submitting to industry professionals, contests, or coverage services.
Your contact details (name, email, phone, and optionally agent/manager) are usually placed at the bottom-left or bottom-right corner of the title page. They should be easy to find but not visually compete with the title. This tool places your contact block near the bottom margin, exactly where readers expect to see it.
Yes. The same basic title page rules apply to feature films, TV pilots, spec episodes, and short films. As long as you are writing in standard screenplay format, a classic Hollywood-style title page is appropriate. You can customize the title, author name, contact block, and date for any project.
