I’m often asked what I look for when I evaluate books for the movie biz.
First and foremost, I look for the elements that are important to my employers–things that they are specifically looking for in terms of genre, execution, etcetera. I read for a couple of different places, and each has a slightly different mandate.
In general, in order for a book to become a movie it has to have a strong, forward-moving plot line, and a premise that you can easily picture on a poster or in a TV ad campaign. Deal killers are:
1) The story has been done before
2) The concept is “soft”–takes too long to explain because it has a lot of nuance. This is also called “execution dependent.” The Hours is a prime example of this. Generally speaking, you can only get away with a soft concept when the book is a bestseller.
3) The story is small, meaning the stakes don’t feel like they matter very much or that the obstacles seem easily surmountable.
If you have read a book and think you have what it takes to turn it into a movie–
DO NOT START WRITING.
It is imperative that you obtain the film rights to the book before you begin the adaptation.
“But Superfast Reader, what if I write it so good that the movie people just have to have it?”
The answer to that is litigation.
If the rights have already been taken, not only will no one read your script, they might actually take legal action against you to stop you from writing (and the law would be on their side). In the case of Writers’ Guild credit arbitration, which determines, in the case of multiple writers, who contributed what elements to a screenplay, only writers hired by the rights-holder will be considered. So if you think one of your ideas ended up in the movie, you’re basically out of luck–unless you know for sure that someone at that company read your script and stole your idea. These kinds of lawsuits do happen, but they are very costly to bring to court. And because of high-profile story-stealing cases like Coming to America, studios, financiers, and production companies are on their guard. Nobody, and I mean nobody, in their right mind will touch your script for their with a 10-foot pole.
If the rights aren’t available, you might think that you should write the screenplay to prove that the book would make a great movie, enticing a moneybags to option the book for you. Here, you run the risk of losing the book to someone else, which would take you back into the nightmare of the 1st situation. You’re just setting yourself up for heartbreak.
To find out rights availability for a book, the official route is to call the publisher and ask to speak to “Subsidiary Rights.” More than likely, you will get a recording requesting that you fax or email a request. Some publishers have this information on their websites as well. You are inquiring about the film rights, and in your letter you must also establish why they should give you this information. If they don’t deem you a legitimate candidate, they might never, ever respond to you.
The good news is that many writers have websites and allow you to contact them directly. Your best bet, if you really fall in love with a book, is to make your case directly to the author, and get him on your side. If you’re lucky, you’ll hit it off and she’ll option her book to you. Now you have the legal right to shop the book around, write the screenplay, and make the movie.
Last night’s work read was the new book by a best-selling author who I just really don’t get at all. His books are way too weird for me, and this was no exception.
Yep,
That was good…
I’m a new Author, having written and illustrated “The Secret Path” by Stormy Monday. Where do I find a credible agent to shop this amazing visual fantasy adventure for a movie. It’s #12 on the BestSellers list at the Publishing Company and should be an incredible movie.
I am a author who wrote a horror novel i am looking to turn it into a movie… http://www.thesecondgate.com
summary:
An ancient artifact was discovered, deep in the heart of the Congo jungle. But this was no ordinary artifact, this artifact proved to be devastating effecting Jennifer and her family, in ways they could not imagine. At night Jennifer would experience terrifying events, that altered her mind and body. Jennifer first discovered she was cursed when she encountered un-known forces that she could not explain. Jennifer tried countless times to get rid of the artifact, but it only came back three times worse.
Hi,
I’m a first time reader/poster here. I’m researching how to pitch a novel to a studio, but my situation is a little strange.
I am an intern at the Literary Agency that already holds film/television rights to this property. My assignment is to sell the rights to a studio and I have been given very little direction on how to do so.
My idea was to write a treatment and use that as a marketing tool to give producers an idea of what direction they could go in with this property. However, I’m worried that the studio will purchase the rights and then use my treatment.
I could copyright my treatment and tell them that if they are interested, they could purchase the treatment AS WELL as the the rights to the book. However, because I don’t hold any rights to the novel, I would not be able to profit off the treatment of an adaptation of the novel. Does that make sense?
So, my questions are 1) How would I go about pitching this novel without writing a treatment? 2) If I choose to write the treatment, is it common to tell a studio that if they want to purchase the treatment, they have to purchase the rights to the novel also? Or is that the sole responsibility of the writer to acquire those rights before adapting it?
This seems a little confusing, but any advice would be helpful.
Thanks,
Intern2010
I’m not a screenwriter, but I know of a series that I believe would make good movies. How could one go about suggesting a book to be looked at as a potential movie? I know it would be a longshot, but I thought if there was enough interest in it, someone might at least give it consideration, but I’m not sure whose attention to bring it to, or how to do so.
A story of survival, shared with you, in detail,

Tate publishing has released a book of mine thatjI think could be made into a good family type movie.. Our Proving Ground, Memories of the Good Old Days. was staged in the Great Depression. The book is about when people loved and respected themselvels, people, work, their own pleasurel and God’s good earth. It can be seen on websire dr.johnlawrence.tatepublishing.net
I am very happy that I found this website half a year ago, because half a year later, now in other words, my book is being made into a movie. How’d I do it without spending a penny? I don’t know, but if you ask me, I’ll tell you my story. I believed.
I’m am having the same problem as many, I am not a writer but one of my best friends is. One night I had this dream. It seemed so real. When I woke up I told my wife about it and she said it should be a Lifetime movie (she’s a big Lifetime fan). I told my bud about it and he was excited and did write the book. It is called Eyes of Fury by authorhouse. My question is did anyone ever get advise on how to find an agent to turn your book into a movie or do you have any info that may help us out??? I went to Lifetime’s web site and they say I must go through an agent. (sorry don’t know any haha)
Thank you much, Duane

Aaron Johnson, you said you were interested in new projects. Please check out my book. This is a never done before plot written by a man and woman, opening their personal case files to reveal their most interesting and dangerous cases. ALL THE STORIES ARE TRUE. If you could give me words of advice to get my project off the ground, I’d appreciate it. Thank you!

I’m writing a book called “Cradled By The Hands Of Tomorrow; Death Without An Identity”. It’s about a young guy whose parents families retaliated against one another because of religion. Towards the end, both parents die. The young man’s mother dies while giving birth to him and the father suffers from depression and sleep apnea. Then at a very young age , 17, the child obtains a student visa to study in the U.S. of A and wants to do medicine, then the devil, or his so-called girlfriend tempts him to sleep with her. She then becomes his pimp and makes him do things-sexual things. Until he met the girl of his dreams and then gets murdered by his current girlfriend and her other boyfriend for sleeping with the girl of his dreams (the girl whom he met on the internet) on an expired Visa. Please tell me if this is appropriate for a short film.
Thank You!!!
OK, so the books, leaving paradise and return to paradise are really great books, based on the same storyline.
We would like it to be a feature film because it will be a deep film that will touch people’s hearts.
Hi, I have been reading comments and I desperately feel like my story should be turned into a movie. I have lots of problems though, I am only seventeen, I am broke, my story is only forty nine pages double spaced, and it isn’t even published. Maybe I am jumping the gun but it is a wonderful story that reflects who I am and I just want to share it with people. Maybe it is just a far fetched dream I just want some advice. I don’t know many teenage boys who became successful by writing fictional stories. Thanks for reading my comment.
Hi! I’m not the one who has a story that should be made into a movie…a friend of mine does. She had it self-published on Lulu.com. Called Granted; it’s by Brandy Feltmate. It’s such a wonderful story and I think it should be made into a movie…even if its just an anime one…which she said that she prefers. I have the first story on adobe which I can send to people if they want to check it out…
Its such an amazing story and I know a few of her fans that would ALSO like to see the story turned into a movie…how can I help her book become a movie? (She already knows that I’m doing this)
I read these books A Gift to last And Small Town Christmas By Debbie Macomber I think they will make a great Christmas movies. If you have not read these books please read them and let me know what you thought of these books.
If you don’t know what to get adult for Christmas buy these books as a gift.
Pami,
My name is Bob Kahn. My wife Kandee was a 9-1-1 Dispatcher for almost 40 years. She wrote an action packed book named Dispatch which is a fictional book about terroists who take over the City of Reno during a big event. This book has all the action of a “DIE HARD MOVIE!” Unfortunately Kandee passed away last March before her book was published. The book may be viewed at http://www.kandeedispatch.com
I was wondering if you can give me any tips on who to contact to turn this book into a movie.
Thank you in advance.
Bob
We are very much involved with authors who self publish and I wonder what opportunities there are for them to advance their work forward? Who would they approach and how. Any information would be useful.

I have a new book out with Publish America, called America’s Final Last Days that I would like to have as a movie. It is about what our country is quickly coming to with terriorism and graft. Although it is a fictional book, it contains proven facts and what it is leading up to. The characters are fictional but could very well apply to the future of our country. I have had one person write to ask if I ever wrote a manuscript for a movie but have not heard back. Is there anyone there that can direct me to the proper persons to have a manuscript written and submitted? Thank you. Jessie Amelia

AJ are you a screewriter? And if so, what do you charge?
Dennis Schuler Sr. co-author Mel Street-A Country Legend.
Dennis Im not sure if you are referring to me as this is another AJ that posted so I will call myself Ohio Producer…
Yes I am a screenwriter but now I focus more on producing. I work with actor Tom Wright and we actually assist authors who want to turn their books into scripts but we dont write the script. We are consultants.
If you are still interested and want to know our fees please email me at ohioproducer@yahoo.com
I was a manager and producer at Triple Crown Publications and you can search Tom at imdb.com ….he was in movies such as Tales from the Crypt, Murder at 1600, Weekend at Bernies, World Trade Center and numerous television shows.
AJ, tried to send you an e-mail but it came back.
Consulants pretty much run the record bussiness, they tell the radio stations what to play. How do you guys fit into the movie business? And do you know a good screenwriter for a rags to riches country music story?
Mel Street got his first guitar, with only one string at the age of 5 and went on to become one of the biggest stars in Nashville in the 70’s. Mel recored “Borrowed Angel” on his birthday in 1970 at RCA studios and had 20 more hits in a row. The pressure of being a star was too much for Mel, who suffered from depression, he began to drink heavy and take pills to ease the pain. Mel shot himself on his birthday in 1978 at his home in Hendersonville, Tn and George Jones sang “Amazing Grace” while playing his flatt top guitar, at Mel’s funeral. Mel Street is considered to be one of the top all time vocal stylists in country music today. Let me know AJ if you can help us with the script and many thanks to all you folks for posting on this site.
Here’s something for all of you to remember.
In an interview with Ralph Emery on WSM radio in Nashville Tn, Mel told him at their log house back in the mountains of Va. At night he would hang his guitar on his bed post and pick that one string and dream….So everyone keep on dreaming!
As a consultant in the film business it could vary. All a consultant really does is instruct and guide you in the right direction. Sometimes people need a little extra help or a push.
We consult on the script writing process. Where to start, how to start, how to keep going, how to finish, what do to when you are finished and so forth.
The screenwriters I know dont come cheap, the reason we suggest you either write it yourself or at least create a treatment that is tempting enough to draw in a screenwriter or producer to take on your story.
Most if not all screenwriters are working on their own stories. What incentives do you have in place to make them want to take on yours? Especially if there is no pay involved.
This process of making films is already long and if you continue to wait around for someone to take on your book, story or whatever you will be in a very very long line…
The game is changing everyday and unless you are in the trenches its hard to keep up.
Maybe you might consider doing a short film and promote on the web to get some buzz going about your book. Do an intense PROFESSIONAL trailer to attrack someones attention. Think outside the box and go for it.
Im not sure why my email didnt go through but its ohioproducer@yahoo.com
AJ
AJ,
I think we can write the script, not sure about the formatting. We wrote the stage play, “Borrowed Angel” which we submitted to Barter Theatre in Abingdon, Va. Do you think you guys could review our work and help with the formatting? Formatting…that will be the million dollar question, getting the story in the proper order. Would you please take time to explain in more detail about writting a treatment?
Thanks for everything,
Dennis
Hello Ohio Producer:
I have just published a fourth book, a novel titled UNSAFE HARBOR. Feedback from my readers is that it should be a movie. I have just read about fifty other authors claiming the same thing on the “Fast Reader – How to turn a Book into a Movie” site hoping to get some direction and all I found were questions and no answers. I’m not naive about these things. A producer bought an option on my first book so I know how it works when they find you. This producer came with a scriptwriter (who had scripted “The Burning Bed”) and an actress who was dying to play the starring role (Valerie Harper). But this time I need to approach someone in the industry myself. Where do I start? I would need an agent; I do not have a script written. My research only turns up lists of “Literary Agents” but no specific lists of agents that sell books to movie. Any help you can give me will be so appreciated. Just point me in the right direction and I’ll be so grateful.

This little book is different, it teaches many lessons. It is about my first ferret Lucky,and her best friend, Morris, an Australian Terrier. It is fiction based on reality. I also have a short glossary in the back, I didn’t want to lose anyone. So many kids don’t want to ask questions. I have partnered with a branch of the SPCA and the FOTL, also, I am partnering to give money to the Blair E. Batson hospial for children. I am going to begin doing readings in schools, I am doing the same thing with the schools that I am the SPCA and children’s hospital. I really want to have this book into people’s hands, I am just starting out and would LOVE any feedback that I can get. I would LOVE to hear anything that can help me with MORE publicity, the more the better. Amazon gives a good preview.
Wow, I forgot to leave the website. It is cjdunnslittlelucky.tateauthor.com Take a look if you don’t mind or have a chance.
I’ve just completed my first, and probably only novel called ”The Razor”.
Hey ‘Superfast’, (and all my kindred writing spirits out there).
I have not been on this sight for ohhh… 6 or 7-months because I relocated from Boston, MA to Capitan, NM …in-which there was just alot of ‘STUFF, before during, and since I got here. The great thing for me is I’m living in the heart of Lincoln County better known as: ‘Kid Country’ (for Billy The Kid). And since the old west is what I do best, then I couldn’t be happier!!
During all this time I had to put my second novel on hold until I got re-established and I’m glad I did. I’ve met so many life-long citizens, artist, business owners, and old-timers, whom all will contribute to my delayed book, a “Then & Now”, tribute to the area …1878 to 2011.
Alot of movies are made out here and alot of producers wander through at any given moment. Hopefully, this could be the answer to turning my first novel, ‘Coping With In-Laws And Outlaws’, into a movie. Hey Kevin Costner do you hear this!! (He lives part of the year here and is wrapping up his German War-Camp Movie in Carrizozo 20-miles away. My hope is, I can combine fate with destiny, (Is one really the same as the other?), and be able to give some sound advice to all of you …be back soon, friends…

I self-published a short fiction novel titled “Mallard Lakes.” This book is about a family whose lives were based on lies, decit and murder. This book portrays how the actions of our parents can be passed down to our children because they were taught to survive the best way they could, even if that meant to take the lives of other innocent humans beings. Some of the reading in this book is gruesome but plot of the story is that family will stick together no matter WHAT?
i publisher my book with publisheramercian. this book is about my family and the death of my brother. the title of this story is willie woodson jr life and death story. i want to know how to turn my book into a movie,
To C.B. & Mary (…And All Of Us Including Myself)!! If by chance a, ‘Script Researcher for any Movie Makers’, should happen upon this sight, then wouldn’t it be wise for us to double and triple check our spelling before we hit the submit button? I ask this because I for one believe first impressions are very important and if we blow through our inquiries then this looks very unprofessional. (Constructive Criticism)…
…I too contracted Publish America for my first book, ‘Coping With In-Laws And Outlaws’, ISBN No. 1-4241-1171-4, available at the publisher’s online bookstore, and all of Amazon ‘s Sites/Department Store Distributors. And-so, what occurred to me is; just as if I had self published my short novel, then with them I’d have to do alot of footwork, booksignings and presentations …in other words, get it out there and collect reviews/critiques for an information folder. It is only after doing this that I’m now able to say, “I’m getting my big-toe in the perverbial celluloid door. Good-luck and get going!!

I’m not here to talk about this short western novel but instead, the thrill of getting mine/your’s recognition …and doing it, all on our own. Since I’ve been here in New Mexico, (See My 2-Post Just Above), I’ve had so many supporters of the contents in this book, that now I’ve been offered to run a store and perform lectures and tours for the upcoming tourist season, and right in Lincoln, NM!! (The HEART Of Kid Country) …and, I’ll be able to call it mine …so, I’m very honored!! Finally, if any of you happen to be in Lincoln and you stroll into, ‘Do Your Ears Hang Low …At The Fandango?’ A merchandise sales/Lecture-Question and Answer-Tour Shop about Billy the Kid, then just mention Superfast, tell me about your book, and I’ll give you a free tour of the town …seriously!!
As well, I’ll be stocking up and selling the above mentioned book as I write my second novel.
Looking forward to seeing ya’s there…

I am a retired veterinarian, and have just written a historical novel entitled “MAX.” I am very interested in history especially WW II. Max, is the story of a young Jewish boy during WWII. It tells of his escape from the Warsaw Ghetto and subsequent capture by the Germans. Max would be forced to live at a Lebensborn home and join the Hitler Youth. He would fall in love with Heidi, one of the girls at the home. Most of the Hitler Youth boys would be killed defending Berlin from the allied army. Max would survive this ordeal and through a strange twist of fate would end up as a war orphan adopted by a farm family in western Kansas. It is also the story of Max’a sister Sonja. Sonja would also end up in the United States as the wife of one of the rocket scientist on the team of Dr. Werner von Braun.
I think MAX is entertaining, interesting, and has an easy to follow story line. I also think it would make a great movie. Max is available on Amazon.com.

Ever wonder about, ‘Billy The Kid’? His story takes place in Lincoln County, NM …yet, was he born in New York City, Indiana, Ohio, or Colorado? His real name is Henry McCarty-Antrim and his aliases were, ‘Kid Antrim’, ‘Kid’, William H. ‘Billy’ Bonney, and not until his final days did the newspapers dub him, ‘Billy The Kid’. Except, there were many around him just as willing to die for their cause but Billy could have been a great military leader. Finally, he was a good friend to the Hispanic population and a Don Juan amongst their woman, (he was thought to have fathered at least three daughters with three different woman).
Update-‘2011; The kid still lives on and is the backbone of Lincoln County. So this Summer when you want to take a unique vacation …c’mon out to ‘Kid Country’, and anyone who mentions Superfast Reader at my store in ole’ Lincoln-town, will get a free tour from me. Only, minor gratuities, or a puchase of a fine piece of jewlery or a painting would be welcomed. And let’s do lunch at the Dolan or Wortley restaurant, shall we?
Final note, tomorrow night I get to visit with a ‘higher up” in the New Mexico movie industry, who is in the process of reading my first novel. My artist friend and I have been invitrd over to watch the Academy Awards, cook on the grill, and talk Hollywood. I’ll keep ya-all posted and reveal any secrets I may learn …T. R. D.

Hey Allen Brookes Robherson,
One way to get your book turned into a movie is to learn how to spell!! Hell, I got a headache reading your first couple of lines …and-it’s, people like you who claim to be authors that make this web-site the sham that it is not. ‘ Oh-I-Know’, you love to babble-on, and then read your crap, so who am I to complain?
Where have all the legitimate writers out there willing to contribute gone to? (And going down the list of the past postings there were a lot of you)…
T. R.D.
Tee-Hee…
It seems this website is kaput’ …thanks, and good night ya’all…
‘Coping With In-Laws And Outlaws’
By: T. Ray Dickerson
ISBN No. 1-4241-1171-4
The closing of the old west-1912, one man’s infatuation that Billy the Kid is alive and well, and a fore-runner to the, ‘Witness Protection Program’, enjoy!!
Hello Superfast,
Could you bring up my website and look at the book called, Quintessence? XLibris tells me that it has movie potential and they are inviting me to LA for a two-day seminar. I can’t do that! Too expensive.
I could send you as copy, but I need an address.
I appreciate your help. Thank you.
Arnold
