Minneapolis, MN, July 19, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Mariner Software, developers and publishers of professional and personal software for the writing and creativity markets announced the release of their long-awaited screenwriting application for Mac OS X, Montage.

Montage Smart Views allow writers to visually filter the script to the desired content, based on criteria. When the script is completed, Montage even includes the ability to create, submit, and track query letters, a script synopsis, and script submissions to hundreds of included industry contacts.

Montage also imports Final Draft, text, and RTF documents.

"With Montage, we are changing the paradigm in that we are making the creation process significantly easier and more intuitive than other solutions. This screenwriting software begins a new era in the writing of screenplays and we've only begun to scratch the surface of what we can do."
