ZHURA: The Online Tool for Screenwriters....

In my infinite search for resources to add here at The LENetwork Talent Resource Directory & Online Community, I came across Zhura.

Zhura is an online screen writing social network. You have the ability to create an idea and ultimately, create a script. It's free to sign up for a membership to use Zhura's services. Once a member, you have access to three different levels within your membership: Personal, Private Groups, & Public.

A Personal Workspace that allows you to create professionally formatted scripts. This personal workspace is an advanced screen writing tool with dynamic revision control tools. Your profile and your work is automatically backed up each and every night.

In Private Groups, you are able to invite friends and colleagues to collaborate with you in a private workspace. When working in a private group, only those who are invited can view or make any types of edits to project. Anyone working in the group is able to work simultaneously making edits, leaving script notes, or having group chats regarding the projects development. With one click you're able to see what each member contributes to the project.

In a Public Workspace you are able to create with assistance from anyone in the Zhura's community. By applying a Creative Commons license to any script you write, anyone from anywhere is able to read or comment on your script.

Zhura's is the only social network of its kind that I have found in my research so far. I was excited to find it, as this is a powerful tool I look forward to using for finishing my script. I've established my own account and have surfed around the different sections to see how everything works. Zhura's is very easily navigated. All information is thoroughly explained and easy to understand. So if you're a screenwriter or looking to become one, make sure you visit this site. I will save you time, memory, & space on your hard drive as you will no longer have to download costly software.
