Script Writing Services That Hold An Audience
A script is not a book with the descriptions taken out. It is built for performance — for actors, cameras, microphones and the clock. The Authors Tree writes scripts for film, television, documentary, video, radio and the stage, shaping your idea into pages a production team can actually work from. Whether you are adapting a manuscript you already have or starting from a premise, our writers handle structure, pacing, dialogue and format so the story works in the medium you are aiming at.

Work With Script Writers Who Know The Format
From a premise to pages a production can use
Every format carries its own rules, and they are not interchangeable. A half-hour episode is built differently from a feature, and a documentary treatment is built differently again. We pair you with a writer who already works in the format you need, so nobody is learning the conventions on your project. You bring the story; getting it onto the page in the right shape is our part.
What Our Script Writing Service Gives You
Writers For Every Format
Screenplays, teleplays, documentary treatments, video scripts, stage plays and audio scripts for radio and podcasts, written in the form your project calls for rather than one house style applied to everything.
Industry-Standard Formatting
Scripts arrive correctly laid out, from slug lines and action through dialogue and transitions, so producers, agents and readers can work straight from the file instead of reformatting it first.
Dialogue Written To Be Spoken
Lines are written for performance, not for silent reading. We test dialogue for rhythm and for character, so the people who eventually say it have something to work with.
Your Story, Your Credit
You keep ownership of the finished script and every draft behind it. We write it, you hold the rights, and your name is the one on the title page.
Turn Your Idea Into Pages A Production Team Can Shoot
Bring us a premise, a finished manuscript or a rough outline, and our script writers will build it into a working script. We start with the shape of the story, agree the structure with you before any dialogue is written, then draft in sections so you can steer it as it goes. You are involved at every stage, and the voice on the page stays recognisably yours.
Adapting A Book Into A Script
Adaptation is not transcription. A novel can sit inside a character's head for a chapter; a script has to put that on the outside, where a camera or a microphone can reach it. Scenes get combined, subplots get cut, and interior passages become something an actor can play.
Our writers work with you to decide what carries across and what has to change, so the adaptation keeps what made the book work while becoming something that can actually be produced. If you have already written the book, you have done the hard part — this is the translation.
How Your Script Gets Written
Four steps, from the first conversation to the final draft.
01
Place your order. We start with a conversation about the story, the format you are aiming at, the length you need and who it is for. Once the order is confirmed you receive written confirmation and a service agreement setting out exactly what is being written.
02
Structure first. Before a line of dialogue exists we map the shape — acts, beats and scene order — and send it to you for approval. Agreeing the structure at this stage is far cheaper than rebuilding it once the pages are written.
03
Drafting and your notes. The script is written and delivered in sections rather than dropped on you complete. Your feedback on each section guides the next, so the direction and the voice stay yours the whole way through.
04
Final pass and delivery. When the last section is done the whole script is read through for continuity, pacing and formatting, then delivered ready to send out.
The Scripts We Write
Our writers work across film and television, documentary, corporate and promotional video, radio and podcast audio, the stage, and interactive projects such as games. If you are not sure which format suits your idea, that is a good first conversation to have — the same story often works better in one medium than another, and it is worth knowing which before the writing starts.

FAQs
The questions authors ask us most often about script writing.
We write screenplays for film, teleplays for television, documentary treatments and scripts, scripts for corporate and promotional video, audio scripts for radio and podcasts, stage plays, and scripts for interactive projects such as games. If your project sits between two of those, tell us what you have and we will advise on the right form for it.
Yes. Adapting an existing manuscript is one of the most common things we are asked for. We work with you to decide what carries across to the screen or the stage and what has to be reshaped, then write the adaptation around those decisions rather than making them for you.
You do. You own the finished script and every draft behind it, and your name goes on the title page. Our writers do not retain a credit or a claim on the work.
Yes. Scripts are delivered in standard industry format for whichever medium they are written in, so they can be read, submitted or produced without being reformatted first.
Throughout. We agree the structure with you before drafting begins, then deliver the script in sections so you can respond as it is written. Nothing is finalised without your sign-off on what came before it.
It depends on the format and the length — a short video script and a feature-length screenplay are very different pieces of work. We agree the schedule with you when the order is placed, so you have the timeline in writing before anything begins.
