How often have you heard that, or thought it yourself? We might be able to make it happen!

Outskirts Press has launched its new Hollywood
Book-to-Movie Treatment option, available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you have a published book (with Outskirts Press or elsewhere), this is the fastest, most direct method to get your book in front of a Hollywood producer AND get a Hollywood caliber Treatment that will begin making the rounds in Hollywood at the same time.And if you don’t yet have a published book, Outskirts Press can help you get published, and then help you with a Hollywood caliber Treatment or even a full movie screenplay. You must have a published book to order either of these Hollywood services.

Hollywood Treatments are the creative framework used by busy Hollywood decision makers to transform your book into another medium. In short, treatments are a fast, efficient way for Hollywood executives to picture your book as a movie or television show in a “language” they understand.

With the Hollywood Treatment, you will receive…

• A 7-10 page creative adaptation (treatment) by a screenwriter that focuses
  on story and characters
• Up to 3 different industry loglines: short catchy phrases that describe
  your story and quickly capture the attention of potential buyers
• Hollywood producer assessment
• Rationale (why choices/decisions were made so they can be addressed by the author)

Warning! This option is an investment, only meant for authors serious about pursuing their goal of turning their book into a movie or television series. For instance, if the producers like your treatment and book, an exclusive 3-year effort will automatically be set into motion by a Hollywood production company to option your book with Hollywood studios, producers, and/or movie stars.

Just imagine: Your own Hollywood Book Treatment making the rounds in Hollywood as a hot property. You don’t have to lift a finger.

Your treatment will also be submitted to a searchable Hollywood database, used by other studios, executives, and producers seeking materials to pitch, option, or buy.

How much is it worth to you to get your book in front of the same Hollywood insiders who, combined, have worked on some of Hollywood’s hottest properties, including:

• The Hunger Games
• The Blind Side
• True Blood
• The Sopranos
• … and many others

If you are serious about turning your book into a film or television series for broadcast or cable, this is the option to consider. We also offer full screenplay ghostwriting, but that is available only after you have a Hollywood treatment.

“My experience with Outskirts was great from start to finish! I was treated with respect. The staff were professional at all times, and responded to my questions very quickly. I was impressed also wit their art department. They nailed the concept I was looking for on the first try. I haven’t sold a lot of books on line, but I have sold copy after copy on my own.

I have received many compliments and positive reviews that have been posted on line. I have another completed manuscript, as I work on #3,
and I plan to use Outskirts again. I would eagerly send anyone with publishing hopes to Outskirts.”

Joscylan Adams was born and raised in Houston, Texas. Reading and writing have been her passion for more than thirty years. Due to a heart condition, she was forced to prematurely leave a job she had held for more than twenty years. During this already difficult period, she suffered the loss of her beloved niece, Syria, and then her father, nine months later. These tragedies gave her a greater sense of the fragility of life, and she decided to begin a journey of living her life’s calling. Her motto is: “Do things while you can, before you want to, and can’t.” Joscylan now lives in Fresno, Texas. This is her first book – and she plans many more to come!
