The voracious television and cable television markets are the primary market today for novels and nonfiction books seeking adaptation to the screen. With the proliferation of channels in the past ten years, competition for stories is fierce but also tricky. The Catch-22 of television is that if you haven’t been produced, it’s difficult to break through; but the good news is the opposite: once you are produced, they want to know what else you have. Books by new authors sell every year and TV buyers are approached through representatives like attorneys, agents, and managers.

This webinar will help you understand the following and more:

- what the TV market is today, and what it wants to buy

- how to prepare your sales materials for this market

-how to find your way to the buyers

Join Dr. Ken Atchity and discover the ins and outs of shaping your Hollywood career, and how to learn the nuts and bolts of the television market.
