Who made this
Hi, I'm Logan.
I made WritersBox.
I'm a film student in Canada. I write screenplays, I build worlds, and somewhere in there I ended up building software too.
Why it exists
Keeping it together was harder than the writing.
The whole reason this thing exists
I built it because I couldn't keep my own projects straight.
I've always got several on the go at once. Each one's a script, and a beat sheet, and a treatment, and a heap of ideas, and reference art, and all the rest of what a project is before it's ever a film. Keeping that together across a dozen scattered documents turned out to be harder than the writing itself.
I tried doing it properly. Folders, a naming system, a spreadsheet, one of those apps everybody swears by. It held for about a month and then I was back to hunting through documents for a character's sister's name.
So I built the thing I wanted. A few months later I write in it every single day, and it does things I've not found anywhere else.
It's just me. No support desk, no team, no account manager standing between you and the person who can actually fix things. You email, I answer, and I rather love that part.
I'm not a software company. I'm a screenwriter who got fed up and learned to build the tool.
The upside of small
What buying from one person actually gets you
You'll get a real reply
No ticket queue, no first-line support reading off a script. You write in, I read it, and I'm the one who can actually go and fix the thing you're telling me about. That's genuinely my favourite part of this.
I use it every day
Every screen in there exists because I needed it for something I was writing. Nothing's in it because a competitor had it, and nothing's in it to fill out a feature list.
It moves fast
Being new has a real upside: if you tell me something's missing on Monday, it can be in the program by the weekend. Try getting that from a company with a roadmap committee.
You're early, and that counts
The people who show up first shape what this becomes. Tell me what you need and there's a genuine chance you'll see it built, with your fingerprints on it.
Not on sale yet
You can be told when it's available.
You'll hear the day it goes on sale, and now and then before that when there's something worth showing you.
