“The #1 Tool Successful Creators Use
To Sell Their Film & TV Rights"

Insider Data Reveals: 9x More Deals Get Done Using This Obvious Method

Why did you start writing books?

If you’re like many creators, it’s because you want to inspire, educate and touch people with your words and share your unique story and perspective with the world.

Since the dawn of time, humans have used stories to communicate and connect with one another… and as a writer with a powerful piece of literature, you have the ability to motivate and inspire large numbers.

Now if you’ve ever been told “Wow! Your story would make a wonderful movie!”, then you’re in an amazing position to affect and even wider audience by tapping into one of the most widespread and far-reaching methods people use to consume content…

Film & Television.

But you may have noticed something…

It’s really hard to get your story noticed by people in Hollywood. And even harder to get someone on the phone!

If you’re like me when I first started, you’ve probably, sent out 100s of unanswered query letters and had dozens of people stop you dead in your tracks on the phone, or worse, simply hung up on you.

And you’re spent.

But if you ARE like me then you’re super passionate about your story and believe in its potential on screen. And nothing’s going to stand in your way.

Well, I’m going to let you in on a little secret that could change the game for you…

Let me tell you a story:

My uncle David is a real estate developer. He buys and sells ranches (and he’s really good at it). Now he’s worked really hard to get where he is and he kind of likes to rest on his laurels now and only pursue the easy deals (hint: he’s like every buyer in Hollywood).

I’ll never forget the lesson he taught me when I was up visiting him at his ranch in Montana.

One day a young guy came up to my uncle’s place with a deal involving a piece of land he’d found. But the guy didn’t have any money, so he came to my uncle and asked him if he wanted to go in on the deal.

Now my uncle is a nice guy and he loves people so he sat down with him, looked over the deal and surmised that it would simply be too much work for him to get the property purchased and developed for sale (remember, he doesn’t like to work that hard anymore).

So he wished the guy well and sent him on his way.

Interestingly enough, the very next day, another guy came by and, I kid you not, he had found a piece of land that literally sat adjacent to the land that the previous guy had found.

For all practical purposes it was identical –similar size, water access, everything.

Yet my uncle did the deal with him on the spot! Right then and there, with a Montana handshake!

So what was the difference?!

Guy #1 had come with land. Guy #2 had also come with land…

But why did my uncle do a deal with guy #2?

You see, guy #2 had put in the time-consuming work of having it permitted for a subdivision, had plans drawn up, had it surveyed for environmental issues, etc.

He’d done enough of the work that my uncle could envision the project and make sense of it QUICKLY. And that work he’d done would end up saving my uncle time and money and free him up to focus on what he does best – bring capital to the deal to get the project under way.

Think of it this way…

In Hollywood, your book or idea is raw land…

But a screenplay is the roads, plans, and permitting.

The screenplay is the blueprint for the movie or show!

Reading a script helps the producer envision exactly how your story will look on-screen without him or her having to do a lot of work (in their head). It’s like paint by numbers!

And this is why you’re literally 9 times more likely to sell your film/TV rights if you have a screenplay based on your story already in hand!

We’ve tracked the data for over four years on many of the self-published book deals in Hollywood and projects that have screenplays are 900% more likely to sell than projects that don’t.

Those are huge numbers that demonstrate a huge edge.

But saving time and saving energy aren’t the only things a screenplay does for a producer.

Let’s say a producer (we’ll call him Producer X) comes across your book on Amazon, reads it, and thinks it would make an awesome movie…

Producer X knows that in order to get your movie made, he’ll need to attach a director and actors that financing companies believe in so that they'll greenlight the movie into production.

Well… and here’s the rub… just like producers, actors and directors are ALSO super busy and in demand.

So do you think they have time to read your story?

Furthermore, even more so than a producer, actors and directors need to envision the story on screen, and to feel how the characters’ stories play out. And actors need to read their role!

So you can see, actors and directors need to read a script before considering attaching themselves to a project.

So… Producer X knows that the very next thing he or she will need to do after optioning your story is commissioning the writing of a screenplay.

And that’s a process that’s going to take Producer X between 4-7 months.  And if Producer X has your story rights for only a year, that’s a LONG time.

And anything could happen in that time…

…The producer’s financing relationships could sour or expire…

…The writer could deliver something that didn’t align with Producer X’s vision

…The whole market could change!

You see, there’s a ton of risk for Producer X here.

And that’s not even CLOSE to all the risk involved…

The riskiest part of all (and the main reason most projects don’t sell) is that…

Most producers in Hollywood are signatories to the Writers Guild of America. In plain speak, that means producers in Hollywood are required to hire union screenwriters.

And they have to pay the screenwriter AT LEAST “minimum scale”.

Which is to say that to adapt your story into a script, a producer will need to pay a screenwriter a minimum of $70,000.00 for an indie script or $129,000.00 for a big budget script.

And that’s just for a low level writer! Big-name writers command between $250,000.00 and $1,000,000.00 for a single draft!

So Producer X has to put up at least $70K AND wait 7 months just to get started with your project!

As you can see, this is NOT an ideal way for Producer X to get projects made.

But if Producer X has your screenplay in hand he can get the ball rolling immediately!

He/she can immediately go to directors, actors and financiers, and straight to the business of making movies, rather than playing the waiting game.

To hammer this point home, let me share with you a story that literally unfolded over this past month…

Michael is an author of a self-published political thriller (I’m keeping Michael’s identity private because the deal we’ve cooked together is too early to announce publicly)…

Anyway, Michael has a very cool book…

And he has one contact in town (a friend of a friend) who runs a small production company that develops movies and TV shows….

So Michael emails this guy and essentially says, “Hey, will you check out my book”?

And the guy replies and says, “No, but send me the script when you have it”.

Translated, this means, “Are you crazy?! I don’t have time to read your book! I know you're a friend of a friend but that’s not even enough to get me to read your whole book!”

Well, the good news is that Michael had already had us write a script for him! So, BOOM! He replies immediately and sends the producer the script!

A few days later, Michael gets an email from the production company’s head of development, requesting a meeting.

So just a few days ago, Michael and I travel to the studio lot to meet with the producer…

And he tells us this…

It turns out they have a TV project in the works with Roland Emmerich (INDEPENDENCE DAY, THE PATRIOT, WHITE HOUSE DOWN) but that it’s falling apart…

And that Michael’s project would be a perfect replacement… And Emmerich is already interested!

So we make an offer and shake hands right then and there… while sitting over coffee in our sunglasses in true Hollywood form!

Now if all Michael had was a book…

He wouldn’t have even gotten through the door…

And he wouldn’t have had something that the producer could pass along to Roland Emmerich to take a quick peak at…

That tiny little window of opportunity would have completely passed him by…

And he wouldn’t have even known it!

One of the main concerns I hear from creators is that they won’t have much artistic say in how their story will appear on the screen.

They’re worried that once they sell their film/TV rights that the Hollywood power players are going to do what ever they want and change the story as they see fit.

And their story could turn out not at all as they intended… maybe even violent… or salacious. Or worse, if their story is a memoir or biography, that Hollywood will make friends or relatives look bad.

And their fear is not unfounded. The road to Hollywood is paved with broken hearts and broken relationships that can never be mended. Here’s how it happens…

On its book-to-screen journey, a project will encounter a lot of different decision makers – actors, writers, producers, directors, financiers, distributors, agents - with all sorts of different agendas that won’t align with yours.

And unless you have a seat at the table, those people will make creative changes over which you have no control.

Unfortunately, getting a seat at the table is really tough.

Emerging creators usually don’t have a lot of negotiating power so the typical deal a producer offers won’t give the writer any creative authority or “say” over how the project turns out.

BUT… a creator with a screenplay is a different beast altogether.

You’ve already seen that creators with screenplays have a HUGE edge over creators who just have a book or idea to present to a producer…

And when you have your own screenplay, you’re no longer just a writer.

You’re actually performing part of the role of a producer. You’re showing up in the market with two assets not just one: your story AND your script.

So with two assets to sell, and because you’ve saved the buyer a minimum of $70K and 7 months of time, you have increased negotiating leverage.

I’ve seen creators in this position time and time again negotiating for a seat at the table. And sometimes even negotiating for a producer credit!

PLUS… they often are able to negotiate for increased fees and profits, sometimes even double what a creator without a screenplay earns!

Imagine seeing your name in the opening credits of the movie based on your story…

Imagine your characters coming alive on screen for the first time…

Or attending a red carpet event and brushing shoulders with the who’s who of the Hollywood elite…

Or standing on stage with other producers and accepting an award…

Imagine having agents call YOU, asking if they can represent your next project…

Or negotiating a six-figure book deal with a major publisher….

Every single ‘no’ that you’ve heard up until this point will have been worth it.

And everything you’ve ever dreamed of for your story, your career and your life will be unfolding before your very eyes.

“Great!”, you’re probably saying. “All I need to do is write a script!”

Here’s where you should hear the unmistakable sound of a record scratch!

Do NOT try to write the screenplay based on your own book.

As tempting as it sounds to just roll up your sleeves and start writing your screenplay, you need to understand a few things…

Writing a novel and writing a screenplay require two completely different sets of skills.

Yes, both books and screenplays tell stories but that’s pretty much where their similarities end.

Take a look at just a few of the major differences between the two…

It takes most screenwriters 5-10 years to develop their craft to a professional and sellable level. Those are the people in Hollywood waiting tables and suffering for a decade writing dozens of scripts before they get their first shot.

So, while you’re a great author, it’s extremely unlikely that your first screenplay would end up as a home run right out of the gate.

And if it’s not a homerun, not only will it not sell, showing it around town will tarnish your reputation and ruin your career over the long term.

But screen-craft isn’t the only issue…

As an author it’s next to impossible for you to do what’s necessary to take a giant “red pen” to your work, hack away, restructure and re-plot your story so it makes sense for film or TV.

During the adaptation process, about 75% of a book’s description is cut.

Additionally, 2 or 3 characters are often combined into 1 in order to cut down on unneeded plotting and focusing the story into a 1-2 hour hero’s journey.

So which character from your story would you choose to cut?

If that’s a difficult question for you to answer, you just proved my point : )

And that’s not your fault… you’ve spent a ton of time crafting your novel…

To objectively take a step back and pinpoint who/what/where should be cut in the name of driving the action forward is an impossible task.

Plus, what are you going to do with a screenplay once you have it anyway? Who would you send it to? Who do you know that will take your call?

If you’re like most authors, you won’t even know where to begin.

So what do you do? Well, most successful authors don’t write their own screenplays.

And that’s why my team and I have decided to make it as easy as possible for you to commission one.

While making sure that it’s of the highest quality. Guided toward a specific market outcome. That you’re involved and have a say in how it turns out.

And that you own it!

PLUS… once it’s complete, we’ll use our relationships, track record and credibility to see if we can find you a buyer!

Bonus #2

Your producer and screenwriter team will transform your story into a industry-standard Treatment for the purposes of packaging, marketing, or selling the project in the film or TV arenas. In addition to your book and the script, the Treatment is an invaluable tool to get buyers to notice your project.

It includes…

- A 7-10 page quick-read creative Treatment to be used to present your project to busy potential buyers and give them a quick view of its potential.

Earlier we discussed that it costs between $70,000 and $129,000.00 to adapt a book into a screenplay with a union-writer.

But you’re not going to pay even half of that…

If fact, you won’t even pay a quarter of it!

In my mind, it’s a win-win.

In short, what is the Story-to-Screen Access Screenplay Program and what do I get?

Voyage will develop a commercially viable screenplay based on your story and a go-to-market packaging strategy for the project. In this program, you will work hand-in glove with a Voyage Producer, our project coordination team, and a professional non-union writer in a combination of phone calls, material reviews and notes as you collaborate through an approach, and outline/beatsheet and two drafts of your screenplay.

That answers my question, sign me up.

Who is the program for / Who is it NOT for?

The Story-to-Screen Screenplay program is for creators who have a book (or even a story in their head) and are committed to seeing it unfold on the screen, and who want to give themselves an edge over other creators.

If you’re a professional screenwriter, this program is probably not the best fit.

That answers my question, sign me up.

What happens after I sign up?

After you sign up, you’ll get a receipt and an email from one of our coordinators about how to select the producer you’ll be working with throughout the program.

We will then start your Producer’s Action Plan and also schedule your kick-off call with all parties involved.

That answers my question, sign me up.

Once my script is complete how will I know that your are presenting it to potential buyers?

You will receive an email notification every time we send out the VALT publication to our large list of buyers. If we identify an interested party, we’ll also let you know. And, of course, if we find you a deal, you’ll be the 2^nd to know (after me) when I put the offer in front of you to see if you want to do it!

That answers my question, sign me up.
