Hollywood Coverage

$999.00

Would your book make a great movie or television series? Find out with a Coverage—the industry’s tool for identifying viable new material for big screen or television adaptation.

HOW IT WORKS:

A professional reader will read your book and write a Coverage on it, a standard format in the movie and TV industry. Coverage consists of two main elements:

• A thorough synopsis that highlights the main characters and events in your story
• A critical analysis that addresses key story points as well as your book’s potential for adaptation to media

Once your Coverage is prepared, it will be submitted to our first-look partner, 5 More Minutes. 5 More Minutes is a full-service production company run by veteran Hollywood executive John Saachi. Their ongoing projects include the film adaptations of the New York Times best selling books, Dork Diaries and Rogues Gallery.

If 5 More Minutes is interested in working with you, they will contact you directly to explain their plan of action to gauge your interest.

Your Coverage will also be placed into our Hollywood Database where agents, directors, actors, and producers will have access to the information. As an alternative to knocking on the doors of Hollywood agents or cold calling production companies, this service gives you legitimate access to entertainment decision makers.

* Your Hollywood Coverage will be fulfilled by an independent industry professional who does similar evaluations for the major agencies and studios. AuthorHouse has no input regarding the critical analysis your book receives and we cannot guarantee results the evaluation will yield.
