## 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!

**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:
|

|
||||
- 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)
|
||||

|
||||
|

**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 4: ScreenCraft (Blog - 200K+ monthly visitors)
|
||||
|
||||
**To:** info@screencraft.org
|
||||
**Subject:** Beta partnership: Modern screenwriting tool for ScreenCraft community
|
||||
|
||||
Hi ScreenCraft Team,
|
||||
|
||||
Huge fan of what you're doing with ScreenCraft - the competitions, resources, and blog are incredibly valuable for working screenwriters.
|
||||
|
||||
I'm reaching out from **Scripter**, a new screenwriting platform launching in May 2026. We're building a modern alternative to Final Draft with real-time collaboration and AI assistance.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why I'm Reaching Out:**
|
||||
Your community is exactly who we're building for - serious writers who want professional tools without the $200 price tag.
|
||||
|
||||
**Partnership Ideas:**
|
||||
1. **Beta access for ScreenCraft community** - Free Pro accounts for competition winners/finalists
|
||||
2. **Educational discount** - Special pricing for your readers
|
||||
3. **Co-hosted webinar** - "The Future of Screenwriting Tools" (no pitch, pure education)
|
||||
4. **Sponsored content** - We'll write educational posts for your blog
|
||||
|
||||
**What We're Asking:**
|
||||
- Honest feedback from your team on our beta
|
||||
- Willingness to explore partnership opportunities
|
||||
- Optional: Mention in your newsletter if you think it's valuable for your readers
|
||||
|
||||
We're not asking for free coverage - we want to provide genuine value to your community.
|
||||
|
||||
Interested in exploring this?

## 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.

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,

### 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!
