Think your book would make a great movie or television series? Hollywood Ticket—the industry-standard tool used for identifying viable new material—is a cost-effective way to find out.

HOW IT WORKS:

A professional reader will review your book for adaptation potential. Coverage is a tool used by the entertainment industry to determine a book’s potential for adaptation to film, television, or digital media. Your coverage will consist 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 and the book’s viability should it be adapted to another medium. Things like production costs, genre, storylines, and character development are considered when evaluating a book’s potential for adaptation.

Once your coverage is prepared, it will be submitted to 5 More Minutes, Xlibris’ first-look partner, who will determine if they would like to option the book for adaptation. 5 More Minutes is a full-service production company run by veteran Hollywood executive John Sacchi. Their ongoing projects include the film adaptations of the New York Times bestselling 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 Ticket will be fulfilled by an independent industry professional who does similar evaluations for the major agencies and studios. Xlibris has no input regarding the critical analysis your book receives and we cannot guarantee results the evaluation will yield.
