For creators
The format is booming.
Nobody tells you how to start.
Vertical micro-drama is already a multi-billion industry — led by China and the US. Yet most creators have no clear on-ramp. VerticalClap is that on-ramp: from idea to shot list, in native writing, without the clichés.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know how to write a series?
No. Micro-drama follows a very codified structure (hook, pivot, cliffhanger) that's quick to learn. VerticalClap generates the bible and scripts to give you a solid base you then personalize.
How much does it cost to get started?
Almost nothing: a vertical series is shot on a smartphone, with one or two actors and everyday locations. For writing, the bible and first 2 episodes are free on VerticalClap — no credit card.
Where do I publish?
You don't need to wait for a dedicated platform: publish on TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts to validate, then pitch DramaBox or ReelShort if you want to monetize.
Does the AI write everything for me?
No. You set the genre, world, secret and cast — your creative choices. The AI handles the structure and first draft; the eye, the directing and the edit stay yours.
