Introducing FluidScriptr — a new tool from Tin House Press for writers ready to take their stories further.
You wrote the book. Now someone asks: is there a screenplay?
It’s a question more writers are hearing. The lines between publishing formats have blurred — novels become series, memoirs become documentaries, short stories become short films. The story you spent years shaping doesn’t have to live in one form. But moving it from manuscript to screenplay, or from an idea to a submission-ready draft, has always required either significant technical knowledge or hiring someone else to do it.
That’s the problem FluidScriptr was built to solve.
What FluidScriptr Actually Does
FluidScriptr is a format conversion tool for writers — built by Tin House Press, powered by Claude Sonnet. It takes your story and carries it across formats, intact.
The key word is intact. The challenge with converting a novel to a screenplay, or turning a raw idea into a manuscript, isn’t mechanical — it’s voice. Most tools that attempt this kind of conversion process your work page by page, without any sense of the whole. The result reads like a summary of your book, not your book. Characters drift. Tone flattens. The dialogue that felt alive in prose sounds dead in a script.
FluidScriptr approaches the problem differently. Before it generates a single word of output, it builds a Story Bible — a structured analysis of your characters, their arcs and relationships, your narrative voice, your themes, your pacing. Every scene in the output is anchored to that map. The Story Bible is what makes the difference between a conversion and an adaptation — between something that technically resembles your story and something that actually is your story in a new form.
Three Ways to Start
FluidScriptr meets you wherever you are in your writing process.
If you have a story idea: Answer six guided questions — genre, protagonist, inciting incident, stakes, antagonist, climax. FluidScriptr builds the Story Bible and writes a full manuscript from your answers. Then converts it to any format you need.
If you have a finished manuscript: Upload your novel or story as a PDF or DOCX. FluidScriptr reads the entire thing, extracts your Story Bible, and converts it to a screenplay or polished manuscript — with your voice intact from the first page to the last.
If you have pages to polish: Upload your existing draft. FluidScriptr tightens the pacing, sharpens the dialogue, and improves structural clarity — while preserving what makes your writing yours.
Each path ends in the same place: output you can actually use.
What It Exports
For screenplays: Fountain, Final Draft (.fdx), and formatted PDF — industry-standard format, proper sluglines, submission-ready.
For manuscripts: DOCX, PDF, and RTF — Times New Roman, double-spaced, standard margins. The format agents and publishers expect to receive.
For enhanced drafts: DOCX and PDF — your improved pages, ready to submit or continue developing.
A Word on What It Isn’t
FluidScriptr is not a ghostwriter. It doesn’t replace the creative work — the characters you built, the voice you found, the arc you shaped over months or years. That work stays yours, entirely.
Think of it the way you’d think of a talented adapter: someone who reads your entire manuscript, understands what makes it yours, and then translates it faithfully into a new form. The story remains yours. FluidScriptr handles the translation.
Your uploads are never retained. Your work is never used for training. What you write stays yours.
Founding Access
FluidScriptr is currently open to founding members at $49 — a one-time payment, no subscription, no per-conversion fees. Founding members get lifetime access, all three starting paths, all export formats, monthly generation credits included, and all future updates.
The price increases after launch. Founding member seats are limited.
If you’ve ever looked at your finished manuscript and wondered what it could become — or if you have a story that needs to exist in a form you don’t yet know how to create — FluidScriptr is worth a look.
