Edward Canfor-Dumas: Screenwriter in London, United Kingdom.

Happy to connect - thanks for asking! Eddy

I'm a Brit who has written quite a lot of UK TV drama, plus a couple of BBC/Discovery co-productions (Pompeii: The Last Day, Supervolcano). I'm now working on a spec feature script and trying to get my head around the Dos and Don'ts of formatting for US readers. I use Final Draft and have seen advice that you must not use 'beat' to signal pauses or 'Continuous' and other stuff like this. Is any of this actually important, especially if a script lands on a reader's desk via an agent?
