Q&A: Difference between Story By, Screenplay By and Written By

Question: What’s the difference between Story By, Screenplay By and Written By?

Answer: If a person wrote only the story (plot, characters, etc) but did not write the actual screenplay, that person will get the “Story By” credit. If a person only wrote the screenplay, then they’ll get the “Screenplay By” credit. Lastly, if a person wrote both the story and screenplay, they’ll get the “Written By” credit.
