Remember that any legitimate producer or film company that’s really interested in your story will pay you for it, not the other way around. Any “offer” they make is hinged on you spending big bucks for no more than empty promises.

The first and biggest, as always, is they are asking YOU, the writer, for money.

So what are the red flags you should notice right away if you get an email or message like this? Which is exactly why these things continue to propagate. It’s a common trade-off scam, offering huge rewards (movie deal, $10 million, etc.) for a not-so-insignificant “investment,” yet compared to the promised gain, it’s only a fraction, right? And unfortunately… it works. Where the bottom-feeders of Hollywood used to play on the dreams of young women yearning to be starlets, now they prey on writers looking for that one big break.ĭon’t fall for it. I think most of us can recognize these types of “services” from some of the other scammy publishing sites we’ve written about here at IU, but because these are geared to Hollywood and the movies, the fees are exponentially higher. There are other offerings as well: an International Book Display package for $1899-$2299, a National Book Display package for $1499-$1699, an Author Launch program, a Book Tour package, and a Book Trailer package, all at similar exorbitant prices. I’m not sure how that differs from a “regular” synopsis maybe they write in explosions and car chases? In any event, most of us writers know exactly what it takes to write a synopsis, but we’re sure not getting paid $2k-$3k to do it. The hook here is that they will write a “producer-friendly” synopsis. There’s also the offer for a Hollywood Synopsis for a paltry $1999-$2999. The description of this is a bit vague: “This tool is used to create a blueprint for the adaptation of your book into a screenplay, so you can easily pitch it to producers to convince them that your story is worthy to be adapted into the big screen.” Personally I would love to see this to know exactly what you get for the money, but I have a sneaking hunch it might be a simple suggestion to buy the screenplay service! The next cheapest service is the Hollywood Treatment for the bargain price of $3500-$4500. They say, “A professionally written screenplay is a great way to impress producers and show them your commitment to taking your book into the screen.” But as you’ll notice, there is of course no guarantee that any producer will be impressed enough to actually option your story. The cost to write a screenplay? A mere $5000-$8000. I checked out Alpha Book Solutions and it has a variety of services they offer to those looking to make the jump to the big screen: none of them cheap. Well, you might have guessed the proposal came with serious strings.

ABS, they said, could help my friend meet the needs of a movie producer and get this ball rolling. When he replied and asked for more details, he was referred to a company that could write the screenplay, Alpha Book Solutions. After all, having his book mentioned in the same breath as Harry Potter movies was an intoxicating surprise. It was signed Malcom Walker, Producer/Director and CEO, but the email originated from a Gmail account with a username of yatesdavid#(random numbers).

The book was a memoir, and although he wasn’t interested in continuing writing as a career, who doesn’t like hearing that his/her book is fascinating enough to become a movie? He had taken my class on self-publishing a while back, and had dutifully completed all the steps and published his first book. Recently I got an email from a friend who was all abuzz about a prospect to turn his book into a movie.
