0.0001% books make it to a web series or movie. Your book might be great or the greatest, but there are invisible steps completely unknown to all the authors who have not ab made it yet. So, the question you want me to answer is how to turn your book into a movie or a web series.
There are two ways: the first is cost-friendly, and the second is super expensive, which only a millionaire can afford. Before I answer this question, I want to ask whether your book is worth making into a movie. When I talk about worth, it's not about a beautiful story but about non-stop curiosity and deep engagement.
There are a lot of other things attached to it, but what I am sharing is out of my experience with a few movie directors and producers in Bollywood. Most authors come to us to connect with movie directors and producers; we know exactly what they look for. Let me share two ways to turn your book into a movie or a web series.
Way 1: Cost-effective method:
A movie is not about a story. It is about the ROI for a production house. So, they look for a proven concept loved by the masses, and a best-selling book is the only proof that they believe in. If it is a bestseller, it is loved by the masses. That is what they believe in. What it means is that if you want a famous production house to consider your book, it should be a bestseller.
Let me tell you what a bestseller looks like:
It should be listed under a cutthroat, competitive mass category.
It should have tons of reviews from the readers and not from professionals.
The book should be selling in 3,000-10,000 copies a day.
The next question is: how to turn your book into a bestseller so you can achieve your dream? But before that, let me share something. If you are a millionaire or multi-millionaire and want to go big instantly, get in touch with the few production houses. They will take the risk to create a web series. When it comes to movies, good brands do not bet their brand image for your money, no matter how much you pay. Your only remaining option is a web series.
The third bonus approach is to pitch your manuscript directly to the directors and producers. If they like it, then they will buy the rights. But it is very hard to reach them unless you have any direct links. This is what authors were struggling with before they met me.
Now, how_to_turn_your_book_into_a_bestseller? A best-selling book needs a huge investment and groundwork prior to the launch. But I can give you a 36,000-foot view right now:
Step 1: Find the perfect audience for your storyline.
Step 2: Build a list of the interested buyers and readers.
Step 3: Launch the book.
Step 4: Get reviewers, get reviews, get a minimum of 10,000 reviews in 1-2 years, depending on how soon you want to be noticed.
Without 1,000 reviews, no director or producer will look at your work. In my experience, the director or producer may make your book into a movie only if he is your friend.
