Service FAQ
Clear answers before you choose a path.
Adaptation development should feel structured and realistic. These answers help set expectations without overpromising outcomes.
Which service should I start with?
Most authors should begin with the Screen Potential Review if they have a completed manuscript or published book. If you are unsure where to begin, Book-to-Screen Spotlight provides a lighter entry point.
Do I need a completed manuscript?
A completed manuscript or published book is strongly recommended for review, treatment, teaser, or screenplay services. Early-stage authors may begin with orientation if they need direction first.
What is the difference between a review, treatment, and screenplay?
A review evaluates adaptation potential. A treatment reshapes the story into a screen-oriented prose document. A screenplay translates an approved treatment into professional script format.
How long does each service take?
Estimated fulfillment ranges vary from 3 to 5 business days for the introductory service to 45 to 60 business days for full screenplay development.
Can I skip directly to a screenplay?
In most cases, a review and treatment are recommended before screenplay development. A treatment gives the screenplay a clearer structure and reduces wasted effort.
Do I keep the rights to my story?
Yes. These services are designed to help develop and present adaptation materials. They do not require you to give up ownership of your underlying story rights.
Are adaptation results guaranteed?
No. No reputable service can guarantee representation, optioning, production, or a deal. The goal is to help you evaluate, develop, and present your story more professionally.
