## Target Partners (Priority 1)
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Screenwriting Competitions
|
||||
|
||||
#### ScriptCraft Competition
|
||||
**Contact:** partnerships@scriptcraft.io
|
||||
**Subject:** Partnership: Free Pro accounts for ScriptCraft finalists
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Hi ScriptCraft Team,
|
||||
|
||||
I've been following ScriptCraft for years - the competition and resources you provide to emerging screenwriters is incredible.
|
||||
|
||||
I'm reaching out from Scripter, a new screenwriting platform launching May 7. We're building a modern alternative to Final Draft with:
|
||||
|
||||
- Real-time collaboration (like Google Docs for screenplays)
|
||||
- AI writing assistant (optional, writer-controlled)
|
||||
- Industry-standard formatting (WGA-approved)
|
||||
- Free tier + Pro at $9.99/month
|
||||
|
||||
**Partnership Proposal:**
|
||||
|
||||
I'd like to offer ScriptCraft:
|
||||
1. **Free Pro accounts for all finalists** (value: $120/year each)
|
||||
2. **Free Pro accounts for winners** (lifetime, not just 1 year)
|
||||
3. **Exclusive discount for contestants** (50% off Pro, $4.99/month)
|
||||
4. **Co-branded webinar** - "Writing Tools for the Modern Screenwriter"
|
||||
|
||||
**What We Ask:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Mention Scripter as an official tool partner
|
||||
2. Include discount code in contestant welcome email
|
||||
3. Optional: Social media post about partnership
|
||||
|
||||
**Why This Matters:**
|
||||
|
||||
Your contestants deserve professional tools without the $200 Final Draft price tag. We want to support emerging writers.
|
||||

||||
