Title: Preferred Script Format
Post by: benjamin-brooks on February 19, 2021, 10:56 AM

I'm new to writing GNs & from what I've found it seems like there's no standard scripting format.  Or perhaps I'm missing something.  I'm currently following a suggestion for comic scripts, but I don't know if that translates into what publishers/agents of children's books expect.

You're right. Not one standard. Here's what a quick search brought:
