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.
