How to sell my book to Hollywood?

I have self published one book in USA and UK. After published, it get many testimonials from writers and readers. So many people think it would be classic and would be feature film in Hollywood. In that case, I hope to find great literary agency or agent to sell my book to NY publishers and sell my book to Hollywood such as Disney. Could you please tell me how I could get great literary agent in WMA, CAA, ICM or other agent to sell my book to Hollywood? Thank you!|||Wang:


If you succeed in this please let me know how you done it. First your book has to be a bestseller and trust me a self published book will not be a best seller. SO!


There are many publishers out there and believe me, it is hard to find one. I spent two years and many, many manuscripts sent with only three replies to the negative. One took three years to reply? Just type in (Canadian) USA or English Literary Agency's and try some of these. If your work is excepted there are no charges to you. They will give you upfront $ and a percentage on books sold. Usually about 15%. Best selling authors can demand much, more. Good luck.


I went the self publish route. Very hard row to hoe. It worked for me only because I am retired and had time to do many book signings.


I write this mainly to warn you about the bad guys out there trying to take your money for nothing. Check (Warnings %26amp;Cautions for Writers) May save you some headaches.
