Amazon Studios Guests Talking Amazon Storybuilder & More, Transcript January 19, 2014

Amazon Studios joined our chat to talk about their new tool, Amazon Storybuilder. I recently tested it out and wrote a 3-part series, complete with screenshots, to help you see the value in the cloud-based index card tool. Anything that can help you break story, and that's free (with no strings attached), is worth exploring. Try the tool and let me know what you think! @jeannevb

• Breaking Story with Amazon Storybuilder, Part 1: setting up the basic index carding. 

• Breaking Story with Amazon Storybuilder, Part 2: explored their unique contributors feature, where you can invite writers to give you feedback on your notes. 

• Breaking Story with Amazon Storybuidler, Part 3: my experience tagging and coloring cards along with final thoughts. 

*note: There are no options or strings attached to use Amazon Storybuilder. It truly is free!

Amazon Studios to Guest on Scriptchat This Sunday!

As some of you know, Amazon Studios @Amazon_Studios asked me to give Amazon Storybuilder a try, a free tool that lets writers build outlines with digital notecards in a cloud-based platform. I've had a great time using it and will definitely continue to outline my new project there.

To learn more about the Storybuilder tool, read the three-part series and get your questions ready for the Amazon Studios team to answer Sunday, January 19th at 5:00PM PST.
