What screenwriting software did you use, Gilad Riv?

Gilad Riv try using https://www.writerduet.com/. It's free for your first couple of scripts, and does a great job of guiding you to make a professional script.

It goes in the unsolicited scripts circular file. They get millions of them.

Jon Shallit even if they tried to look at it, that formatting is horrid. I specify since he never claimed he sent them unsolicited.

That's not a good format, Gilad Riv. Also Celtex is good: https://www.celtx.com/

Try Final Draft. They have a 30 day free trial for computers. If you have a phone or an I-pad Final Draft it's only $10.00 for one year. This program is easier to learn and looks way better then the other screenwriting programs.

i suggest also two great screenwriting books that will help you with proper formatting and constructing the script. They are "Your Screenplay Sucks" by William Akers , which focus primarily on all the things you should not do. Save The Cat by Blake Snyder focus more primarily on the things you should do while screenwriting.

I second what Mone't Weeks said, Gilad Riv.
You could also watch some screenwriting webinars on Stage 32 (www.stage32.com/education/search?term=Screenwriting).
And you could read scripts to see how they're formatted and get better at writing scripts. You can download scripts on Stage 32 (www.stage32.com/loglines) and here (www.nyfa.edu/student-resources/10-great-websites-download-movie-scripts).

Try Trelby (http://www.trelby.org/). It's free and does a very good job. I wrote my first four screenplays with it, it gives fantastic reporting. There are a few quirks, and a bit of a learning curve, but for free, it's hard to beat.

I never knew how important spelling and formatting were in this industry. They separate "amateur" from "professional" it seems. I invested in Final Draft and it allowed me to be taken seriously!

Libby Wright - I had one misspelling in a screenplay and was dinged for it.
