Will Your Book or Script Make a Good Film or TV/Film Series

By Gini Graham Scott

Will Your Book or Script Make a Good Film or TV/Film Series? provides the key steps for assessing your book or script's film or series potential.  After an introduction to script coverage, the book features 12 considerations in determining whether your book will work as a film or series.  For example, some considerations are the number of characters and locations, whether the book has a strong plot line with action and dialog, the anticipated, budget, and more.

            The book is drawn from the first section of the complete book Turn Your Book or Script into a Film. This book discusses how to use your book or script as a guide, how to create a logline and synopsis, treatment, show bible, and sizzle reel, and how to pitch your film to producers and agents or raise funds to produce it yourself.

            The book provides an excellent first step to getting started in turning your book or script into a film or TV/film series.
