Scripped, a new provider of Web-based screenwriting software and services, and Write Brothers, a publisher of the award-winning screenwriting software, Movie Magic Screenwriter, today announced a strategic technology and marketing partnership that will change the way that screenplays are written and submitted to Hollywood.

Scripped.com and Write Brothers will partner to provide aspiring writers both an online and an offline solution for their screenwriting software needs. Additionally, the two companies will leverage existing partnerships to help screenwriters take their works from concept to completion. The new partnership will entail:

• Joint marketing/promotion of Scripped Writer and Movie Magic Screenwriter
• The ability to submit scripts via Scripped Inc.’s submission platform to proper Hollywood end destinations
• Both companies will combat piracy – Scripped Inc.’s users, generally aspiring young writers, will have the ability to quickly transition to Movie Magic Screenwriter at a lower cost.
• Providing content that will be useful for aspiring screenwriters (both professionals and non-professionals).

“This is the first collaboration between a Web-based script writing company and a traditional scriptwriting software company and we’re excited to have the Write Bros’ as our client-side software partner,” said Sunil Rajaraman, CEO, Scripped.com. “Partnering with Write Brothers will dramatically shorten our time to market with new modules that enhance the screenwriting process and help both companies better connect all of the elements of the screenwriting value chain.”

“Expanding opportunities for Write Brothers clients and Scripped.com clients is at the heart of the partnership. We see a lot of potential,” said Chris Huntley, V.P., Write Brothers “We’re excited about teaming up with Scripped.com. We think there are terrific opportunities to join the desktop generation with the Internet generation. It is win-win all around.”

In addition to joint technology development, Scripped and Write Brothers will develop co-marketing programs to expand the use of their technology from screenwriters to other markets outside of the traditional Hollywood screenwriting value chain. The new integrated technology solutions are expected to be released by next year.
