## Email 1: John Finn (YouTube - 450K+ subscribers)

**To:** johnfinn@business.youtube.com  
**Subject:** Free lifetime Pro account - modern screenwriting tool for your channel

Hi John,

I've been following your channel for years - your Final Draft tutorials are legendary in the screenwriting community. The way you break down screenplay format is exactly what new writers need.

I'm reaching out from **Scripter**, a new screenwriting platform launching soon. We're building a modern alternative to Final Draft with:

- **Real-time collaboration** (like Google Docs for screenplays)
- **AI writing assistant** (optional, writer-controlled)
- **Cloud-native** (works on any device, no install needed)
- **Affordable pricing** (Pro at $9.99/month vs Final Draft's $200 one-time)

**The Ask:**
I'd love to give you **free lifetime Pro access** in exchange for:
1. Honest feedback on bugs, UX, features
2. Optional: A video review if you genuinely like it (no pressure!)

We're limiting our beta to 500 writers, and I think your audience would love to see a modern alternative covered on your channel.

**Next Steps:**
Interested in a quick 15-min demo? Here's my Calendly: [Calendly Link]

Or just reply to this email and I'll get you set up with beta access immediately.

Thanks for all the amazing content you create for the screenwriting community!

Best,  
[Your Name]

**P.S.** Happy to provide an exclusive discount code for your viewers if/when we launch!

## Email 2: No Film School (YouTube - 500K+ subscribers)

**To:** tips@nofilmschool.com  
**Subject:** Beta access: Modern screenwriting platform for NFTS community

Hi NFTS Team,

Love what you're doing with No Film School - it's the go-to resource for indie filmmakers and screenwriters.

I'm reaching out from **Scripter**, a new screenwriting platform built for how writers actually work in 2026:

**Key Features:**
- Real-time collaboration (multiple writers in the same script)
- AI-assisted outlining and dialogue suggestions
- Cloud-native, works on any device
- Free tier + Pro at $9.99/month (vs Final Draft's $200)

**The Opportunity:**
We're launching our beta program (500 users max) and would love to have the NFTS community represented. We can offer:

1. **Free lifetime Pro accounts** for your team
2. **Exclusive discount code** for your readers/viewers
3. **Guest post opportunity**: "How AI and collaboration tools are changing screenwriting" (no pitch, pure value)

We're not asking for coverage - just honest feedback from people who actually know filmmaking.

Interested in early access?

## Email 3: Script Lab (YouTube - 60K+ subscribers)

**To:** info@scriptlab.com  
**Subject:** Collaboration: Beta access + potential partnership

Hi Script Lab Team,

I've been following Script Lab for years - your screenplay analysis videos and software reviews are incredibly valuable to the screenwriting community.

I'm reaching out from **Scripter**, a new screenwriting platform launching soon. Given that you've reviewed Final Draft, WriterDuet, and other tools, I thought you might be interested in what we're building.

**What Makes Scripter Different:**
- **Real-time collaboration** (Final Draft wishes it had this)
- **AI writing assistant** (writer-controlled, optional)
- **Cloud-native** (no install, works anywhere)
- **Modern pricing** (Free tier + $9.99/month Pro)

**Partnership Opportunity:**
We're launching our beta program and would love to partner with Script Lab:

1. **Free lifetime Pro access** for your team
2. **Exclusive early review opportunity** (embargoed access if you want)
3. **Affiliate program** (we can discuss revenue share)
4. **Guest content exchange** (we'll write for your blog, you guest post on ours)

We're limiting beta to 500 users, and I'd love to have Script Lab as one of our founding partners.

## Email 5: Go Into The Story (Scott Myers - WGA Official Blog)

**To:** scott@thestorydepartment.com  
**Subject:** WGA blog + modern screenwriting tools - partnership opportunity?

Hi Scott,

I've been reading Go Into The Story since the beginning - it's the gold standard for screenwriting education. Your posts on story structure have taught me more than any book.

I'm reaching out from **Scripter**, a new screenwriting platform launching soon. Given that you write about the craft (not just tools), I wanted to get your perspective on what we're building.

**The Vision:**
We believe screenwriting tools should:
1. **Get out of the way** and let you write
2. **Enable collaboration** (writing is often a team sport)
3. **Use AI thoughtfully** (assist, don't replace)
4. **Be accessible** (free tier, affordable Pro)

**The Ask:**
I'd love to offer you **free lifetime Pro access** for your own writing, no strings attached. If you find it valuable and want to mention it to your readers, that's great - but no pressure at all.

We're also happy to:
- Write a guest post on "How Technology is Changing Screenwriting"
- Sponsor a Screenwriting Soirée or event
- Provide beta access for WGA members

Would you be open to a quick call to discuss?

Best,  
[Your Name]  
CMO, Scripter  
[Email] | [Calendly Link]

**P.S.** I know you get pitched constantly - this isn't a pitch for coverage. Just offering a tool that might help your writing.

## Follow-Up Schedule

### Follow-Up #1 (3 days after initial email)
**Subject:** Re: [Original subject]

Hi [Name],

Just floating this to the top of your inbox in case it got buried. Would love to get you set up with beta access if you're interested!

No pressure at all - just didn't want you to miss out.

Best,  
[Your Name]

### Follow-Up #2 (7 days after initial email)
**Subject:** Last chance for beta access

Hi [Name],

Final nudge on this! We're closing in on our 500 beta user limit, and I'd hate for you to miss out on free lifetime Pro access.

If now's not a good time, no worries at all. Just let me know either way.

Best,  
[Your Name]

### Follow-Up #3 (14 days - break up email)
**Subject:** Should I close your file?

Hi [Name],

I'm guessing this isn't a good time, or it's just not interesting - totally get it!

I'm going to close your file on my end, but the offer stands if you ever want to reach out.

All the best,  
[Your Name]

**P.S.** If you know someone else who might be interested, happy to send them an invite!
