·        The counter-intuitive path from taking an idea to a book to a New York Times bestseller to a sold story in Hollywood production.
·        Why so many novelists fail to ever sell one of their books to Hollywood… and how you can avoid their mistakes

·        Plus, much more…

What makes a good author’s representative? 


Sometimes a writer signs with an agent, manager, or attorney and is so elated to have done so that it doesn’t occur to him that he’s signed with someone that will not advance his dream of publication or production. But how do you know before you sign? How do you know how to narrow the list? Based on decades in both publishing and entertainment, Dr. Atchity will share with you his observations about what makes a good author’s representative and how to identify the good ones—as well as how to avoid the ones who will waste your time.

Writing Treatments that Sell


The treatment is a tool used by Hollywood writers to provide a compelling overview of a story prior to writing or revising it. It’s as useful as a marketing device as it is as a diagnostic tool, and some treatments have even sold for millions of dollars. Based on his bestselling book, Writing Treatments that Sell, Dr. Atchity will show you what a treatment is and what you need to know about its essential elements in order to add it immediately to your arsenal of professional writing tools.
