## Common Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What if I have multiple writers?">
    Use `&` for writing teams and `and` for sequential writers. Example: "Jane Smith & John Doe" (team) or "Jane Smith and John Doe" (separate contributions).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Should I include copyright?">
    No. Copyright is automatic upon creation. Don't add © symbols—it looks amateurish on spec scripts.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What if my title is lowercase?">
    Industry standard is ALL CAPS for titles on the title page. Inkwell formats it for you when printing.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I customize the title page layout?">
    No. Inkwell uses the industry-standard title page format. Custom layouts are non-standard and may hurt submissions.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where does this info appear?">
    Only on the title page when printing or exporting to PDF. It doesn't appear in your script editor or Fountain exports.
  </Accordion>
