Scripped is an online screenplay services company offering three services: script writing, script registration, and script coverage. Scripped currently does not facilitate collaboration among screenwriters. It combined with Zhura in 2010. According to Techcrunch, Scripped has more than 60,000 writers as of March 2010.[1]

Scripped is administered by Sunil Rajaraman, Ryan Buckley and Zak Freer.[2][3][4][5] Actor, writer, and director Edward Burns and screenwriter Steven E. de Souza joined Scripped's Board of Advisers in May 2008.[6] In 2008, the company formed a partnership with Write Brothers, makers of Movie Magic Screenwriter software.[7] On March 29, 2010, Scripped announced that it closed $250,000 in private investment and merged with competitor Zhura. Scripped's CEO, Sunil Rajaraman, remains the merged company's Chief Executive Officer.[8]

Features

The Scripped Writer provides a built-in screenplay template which formats the document to a standard for scripts as recommended by the AMPAS.[9] The screenplay document is composed of seven elements: scene, action, character, dialog, parenthetical, transition and general. Each element has a specific style to which the Scripped Writer conforms as text is entered.

Like other client-side screenplay software, Scripped offers Tab-Enter toggling between screenplay elements, making the writing process much faster.

Text files can be imported into the Scripped Writer and automatically conformed to the screenplay template. Completed scripts can be exported as PDF files.

In May 2011 the administrators of Scripped launched Scripted.com - a sister site focused on freelance writing jobs.
