How do I follow screenplay format?

Font

The widely accepted screenplay font is Courier New, 12-point. It would be wise to stick with that font. Let the story you write stand on its own merits. Movie industry readers are said to average 400 screenplays per year. Don't give them excuses to put yours down and move on to the next screenplay in the pile.
