Before the script reaches anyone else.

Before pitching to producers

A screenplay pitch — even an informal one — means your script reaches people before any agreement is in place. Timestamp the version you pitch before the first conversation. The record establishes when that exact draft existed.

Before a writing group or workshop

Writing workshops and feedback groups mean your script moves through multiple readers. Timestamp each draft before it is shared — documenting when each specific version of the work existed.

Before a studio submission

A script submitted through a formal or informal submission process enters a pipeline with many readers and a long timeline. A Lyricsmit record timestamps the submitted version before it enters that pipeline.
