Formly
A rough idea in. A pitch they can't put down.
Formly turns a story idea, a logline, and a handful of character notes into a complete, professionally formatted pitch packet — every section a development exec, agent, or producer expects to see. Then exports it, ready to send.

The Moment That Kills Good Scripts
The script is ready. The pitch document isn't — and that's what they read first.
A producer decides in the first page of your pitch whether to open the script. But most writers pour everything into the screenplay and slap the pitch together the night before. The work is strong. The packaging makes it look like it isn't.
I had a great script and a one-sheet I threw together in an hour. The reader never got to the script — the pitch didn't sell it.
Cost: a strong script, unread
Every producer wants the packet in a slightly different shape. I kept rebuilding the same document from scratch for each submission.
Cost: the same work, over and over
I forgot the comps. I forgot the "why now." I sent a pitch missing half of what a producer expects and didn't realize until after.
Cost: an incomplete first impression
The Difference
Stop assembling. Start submitting.
Before
Thrown together from scratch every submission
Comps and a why-now hook forgotten under deadline pressure
Inconsistent formatting from one send to the next
No clear market positioning for the reader
A strong script wrapped in a weak first impression
After
All six pitch sections generated from one description
Comps and a why-now hook included every time
Professionally formatted, consistent every time
Clear market positioning built into every pitch
A first impression as strong as the script behind it

Formly is where your pitch comes together.
Formly stands on its own — describe your story and get a complete pitch packet in one pass. It also pairs naturally with the rest of the Screenwriting Suite: sharpen your hook in Log Line Machine, develop your cast in Character Dossier, or expand your narrative in Treatment Writer — then bring what you've written into Formly's story description.

Generate sharper logline angles, then use your favorite as Formly's input.
Character Dossier
Develop full character profiles, then summarize them into Formly's character notes.
Treatment Writer
Write a full narrative treatment, then condense it into Formly's premise section.

Your script is ready. Is your pitch?
The document they read first shouldn't be the one you built last. Give your project the packet it deserves — and get them to the script behind it.
Start your free trial →Common questions
Does it work for TV pilots or just features?
Both. Formly handles features, TV pilots, limited series, and shorts. Just describe the format in your input.
What if my idea is still rough?
That's fine — Formly is built for rough concepts. Even a two-sentence idea produces a usable output. More detail means sharper results.
Is the output ready to send to producers?
It's a strong first draft. Plan to spend a few minutes tuning the voice and specific details before sending.
