ABOUT THE WEBINAR

Hollywood loves source material and there is no better material for a film or television series than a best-selling book. The competition to find the next best read is ferocious and often books are optioned or bought before they are even published. But sometimes a great book will slip through the cracks and go unnoticed until someone with the vision for bringing it to the screen finds it. But before anyone can trumpet their amazing find, they have to make sure they have the rights, and the right approach, to sell that book to Hollywood.

This webinar will illustrate the process for acquiring the rights to a best-selling book, or a book that may have been overlooked, in order to package and sell it to in today's hyper-competitive Hollywood marketplace. Often, the process can be arduous and time-consuming. But if the rights are available, and you are willing to do the work necessary to develop the material, a book can be your calling card into the entertainment business. Also covered will be strategies for getting the book out to buyers, adapting the material for the screen; working with authors and their representatives to secure the rights with little or no money up front, and making sure that you stay attached to the work when you find that buyer.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

  • How to research a title in order to find out if the film rights are available
  • How to research the entertainment marketplace to see if the title you are interested in will resonate with buyers.

  • How to work with authors and representatives in order to get their work to market.

  • How to find buyers that will "get" the material.
  • How to stay attached to the material you are selling.

Send in the clown!
Format: Hardcover
Probably my least favourite of the entire The Simpsons Library of Wisdom series, but still fun; though sarcastic and raw at times.
