More Comic Script Templates
Admittedly, Scrivener isn't for everyone.
So I’ll be the first to admit that Scrivener isn’t for everyone. I’m an odd mix of outline addict and research junkie, so it is ideal for me. It helps keep track of all my ADHD-induced? scattered ideas so I can put them in the correct place in a story later.
But even if Scrivener is your jam, I also acknowledge that my template (see below) might not fit the way you work. As such, I’d like this post to be an evergreen page where I will post and update links to more comic script templates.
Fred Van Lente - If I wanted to use Word or Pages, I’d probably be using one of the templates offered by comic writer and awesome human Fred Van Lente. There are several offered on his page, “How to format a comic script.”
The Standardized Comic Script - This one caused more than a little controversy when it was first announced (“What? You want us to standardize?!”) but it is actually a good tool. The creators discuss it HERE and you can download it on Oheysteenz.com or CamillaZhang.com.
Antony Johnston - This New York Times best-selling author is the creator behind the comic script template that comes with Scrivener. Visit “Scrivening Comics” for a good (if needing a little updating) description of how he uses it.
What did I miss? If you use a comic script template that came from another source, I’d love to hear about it! Leave the details in the comments and I’ll see about adding it to this page.
Hey, I use a comics template supplied in Fade In, but I customized it to look like Fred Van Lente's template.
