AuthorHouse Book-To-Screen Packages

Book-To-Screen Packages


Do you dream of seeing your story in the theater, as well as in the bookstore? Do you write your characters with actors already in mind? The AuthorHouse book publishing company offers new writers a wealth of options for their self-publishing packages, including book-to-screen services that prepare your book for film consideration.


The first service is the AuthorHouse’s Hollywood Coverage service, in which a “coverage” will be developed for your book. This will include a synopsis of the story, summarizing its main characters and events, and an analysis of how it could be best developed for TV or film.


Your book’s coverage will then be forwarded to AuthorHouse’s first-look Hollywood partner for consideration, as well as entered into our Hollywood database, where other directors, producers and actors can view it.


Next is the Hollywood Treatment service. If you elect this, a film-style “treatment” will be developed for your book by a screenwriter picked carefully to match your story’s genre and style. The five to ten-page treatment will provide a detailed guide on how the screenwriter would adapt your book into a full-length screenplay.


Like the coverage plan above, your book’s treatment will be forwarded to AuthorHouse’s first-look Hollywood partner for consideration, as well as entered into our Hollywood database.


Finally, there’s Hollywood Screenplay, in which a screenwriter will make a complete screenplay version of your story, complete with all its dialogue and actions—a screenplay that YOU retain ownership of.


Again, the completed script will be forwarded to our first-look partner and entered into our Hollywood database.


Are you ready to publish now, and think your story is right for the silver screen? Compare self-publishing packages and see if one of our Hollywood Book-To-Screen services is right for you! For more information, check us out at www.authorhouse.com

3 Tips on How to Market Your Own Book

Marketing is one of the most crucial aspects of your book’s success. You can’t simply rely on your publishing company, though; you have to shoulder most of the marketing burden yourself! Today we present three basic tips on how to use the internet to effectively market your book, before and after its launch!


3 Tips on How to Market Your Own Book Image



  1. Establish your online platform. Use free websites like wordpress.com, blogger.com, webs.com, weebly.com, etc. to create your online presence. Link these accounts to your social media profiles (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Goodreads, Pinterest, StumbleUpon and Tumblr) to generate traffic from your intended audience. Maintain your readers’ interest by posting new and interesting articles on a regular basis. And don’t just advertise your book! Provide content that’s of value to readers on its own merit.

  2. Create a mailing list. Create mailing lists based on your subscribers’ locations, professions, and interests. Don’t just send unsolicited emails to random addresses in hopes of finding a new reader! Make sure that your websites and social media platforms are clear, easy to navigate, and include “follow” or “subscribe” buttons.

  3. Create email-based ad targeting. Advertise via emails in which you talk about yourself, your book, and your current (or future) projects. You might also send out writing tips, your writing inspirations, and anything else that might be of interest to readers or other authors. Look online for more examples of email-based ad targeting.


We hope you’ve found these three basic tips helpful. Search Google for plenty of additional ideas for promoting and marketing your self-published book!

Tips on Knowing if your Book is Good

Tips on Knowing if your Book is Good in AuthorHouse


While authors will naturally have a strong attachment to their book, it’s equally natural for them to wonder if the book was enjoyable to their readers. There are two ways for writers to judge the quality of their book: first, they should wait at least six months to re-read it; by then, they can view it with a fresh set of eyes, and better identify what works and doesn’t work. Second, they should solicit the opinions of readers who have no emotional ties to the book, either through book reviews, forums, or online comments.
