PUBLISH A BOOK

One of the ideas floating around the blogosphere is to self-publish a book in connection with your screenplay. Of course, techniques for writing novels are quite different than that of screenwriting, but if you have a good story it's not impossible.

LULU.COM has become one of the most popular sites and services to self-publish through. The size, format, and price is completely up to the author. Known as "pay per print", the book is published on demand, after each client order.

The advantage to having a book in print in connection with your script is multi-faceted: you can send it in with your script, possibly intriguing more interest; pester friends to buy copies online to increase sales; and who knows, maybe one of the big publishers will come at you with a book deal.

Or, a production company, who wants to do an adaptation, in which case you will whip out the script and say "got that too!"
