Description:

Contour, an award-winning story development system, is now available for iOS. Developed by Emmy Award-nominated Jeffrey Alan Schechter, Contour teaches users a character-based narrative structure used in numerous Hollywood blockbusters. This proven system has led to millions of dollars in writing assignments and script sales, helping writers craft cohesive stories that captivate from beginning to end.

Testimonials:

<ul>
<li>"Jeff has an acute understanding of the kind of story structure that makes for successful movies. By analyzing blockbusters, he extrapolates a story construction model that is surprisingly simple and universally applicable. And, best of all, it works." - Tim Hill, Director, Alvin and the Chipmunks</li>
<li>"Screenwriting is an art, and Jeff Schechter conveys both the craft and the soul of the trade. A gifted teacher, he provides methods which will help you both structure and elevate your best ideas." - David Sacks, Executive Director, The Simpsons</li>
</ul>

Whether you use Contour independently on your mobile device or transfer your work to the desktop version on your Mac, Contour offers seamless integration.

With its intuitive fill-in-the-blanks approach, Contour guides users on what elements are essential in their scripts, eliminating uncertainties. For screenwriters aiming to refine their work, this tool is indispensable.
