Storyteller is LIVE!
The SoCreate Weekly Museletter is here.
Hey SoCreators,
The wait is over! We’re thrilled to announce that SoCreate Storyteller has officially launched. This is more than just a screenwriting tool; it's a brand-new medium for writers to publish, share visual stories, and engage with your audiences directly.
With Storyteller, you bypass traditional Hollywood barriers, empowering you to create immersive stories that people can experience in a whole new way.
Ready to take control of your writing career and give your scripts a place to live?
Start by attending today’s Storyteller Training Webinar at 3:30 p.m. PST / 6:30 p.m. EST. where we’ll cover platform features, how to publish your first story by importing a script or writing one in SoCreate, and how to set up your Creator Profile.
Or, watch this quick video to get an overview of how to use Storyteller:
Already have plenty of stories in SoCreate? From within any story in SoCreate Writer, click the sharing icon in the top toolbar, then click “Publish to Storyteller” to share your work for the world to see! Stories will be available on your Creator Profile. And soon, the SoCreate homepage! But we encourage you to share them with your own networks, too (think social platforms, friends, family, Steven Spielberg 😉 😉).
Storyteller is available on our Professional Plan.

Indie Filmmaker Leverages SoCreate to Bring Transformational Films to Life
Mark Steenbarger, founder of Point of View Story, is a filmmaker on a mission: to create short narrative films that inspire deep self-reflection and healing.
And with the help of SoCreate, Mark has streamlined his filmmaking process, using the platform to collaborate more effectively and bring these meaningful stories to life with ease.
“The feedback [feature] is huge,” he says. “Also, the way it’s laid out with the scene by scene helps our minds stay focused on that scene rather than looking at a long document in Final Draft.”
Read Mark’s full interview, where he explains how SoCreate makes all the difference in his screenwriting process!

Now that you can share you stories visually through SoCreate Storyteller, it’s time to take our weekly writing challenges up a notch! We’re starting a weekly competition.
Once you complete the weekly challenge, publish your work to SoCreate Storyteller and send us a link at YourFriends@SoCreate.it, with the subject line: Challenge Submission.
We’ll pick our favorite entries each week, and feature your story in our Museletter!
Make sure your story is complete with imagery for your characters, action, and locations (you can use SoCreate’s imagery or your own), so the story really comes to life when we read it in Storyteller.
We can’t wait to see what you create!
This week, we’re tackling a chase scene in an unlikely location!
Location: Outside (EXT) – Carnival/Fairgrounds
Characters: Leo (16), Carla (17)
Set the Scene: A busy carnival with laughing, music, and screaming kids all around. Leo is on the run from Carla, but we’re not sure why. The flashing lights, blaring music, and chaotic movement of the crowd make it hard to escape, but Leo has to find a way out—fast. The chase takes them through the funhouse, past the carousel, and into a maze of food stalls, with Carla hot on his heels.
Prompt: Write a scene where Leo tries to escape Carla in the midst of carnival chaos. What obstacles does he face? Why is he running? How does he finally escape, or does he?
That's it for this week's Museletter! We hope it inspired you to write. Your stories are important, and every sentence you add brings you one step closer to a finished story you can share with the world!
