FOR DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENTS & LITERARY MANAGERS

The system of record for every script you're sent.

Log submissions in seconds, write coverage that looks like it came from a story department, and share watermarked scripts you can actually track. One place — instead of a spreadsheet, a Word template, and a prayer.

14 days on the full Team plan. No card required.

SCRIPT: CONSIDERWRITER: RECOMMEND
A tightly wound two-hander that earns its ending. Dialogue crackles; the midpoint reversal is the strongest set piece we've read this quarter. Third act rushes, but the voice is undeniable…

Excel plus Gmail was never a system.

SlateGrid replaces the home-grown grid, the Word coverage template, and the unwatermarked PDF forwards — without changing how material reaches you.

01 — LOG

Forward the email. That's the intake.

Every org gets a private intake address. Forward a rep's email and a draft entry appears — title, writer, and source rep parsed from the message. Confirm in one keystroke, or press n to log by hand in under 30 seconds.

02 — COVER

Coverage that signs, and stays signed.

Your template, your ratings grid, your verdict labels. Readers write beside the script, autosaved. Signed coverage is immutable and exports to a PDF that looks like it came from a studio story department.

03 — SHARE

Nothing leaves without a watermark.

Weekend-read packets and share links stamp every page with the recipient's name and a timestamp. Every open is logged. Revoke a link and it dies instantly — the clean original never leaves your vault.

INSTITUTIONAL MEMORY

“Have we seen this writer before?”

Answered in seconds, not a dig through shared drives. Every submission, every draft, every verdict — searchable forever, on every plan. New drafts of old scripts are caught automatically and linked into a version chain.

Built for material that isn't yours to lose.

Per-recipient watermarks

Every page of every delivered PDF carries who, which org, and when. Stamped server-side on every delivery; originals are never exposed.

Append-only audit log

Views, downloads, shares, signatures, decisions — recorded and immutable. Nobody, including the owner, can edit history.

Readers see only their assignment

Freelance readers get a magic link into one script — never your slate. Enforced at the database level, not just hidden in the UI.

One log, three jobs done.

The solo manager

Look like a shop with a story department. Log referrals from your inbox, send watermarked packets, and never lose track of a writer you liked.

The assistant who owns the grid

Keyboard-complete: n to log, a to assign, w to flag for the weekend read. The Friday packet builds itself.

The exec who reads coverage

A calm reading queue on the couch: verdicts up top, synopsis and comments in generous type, decision recorded in one tap. Nothing leaks.

Your slate, on the grid, by Friday.
