Voyage Testimonials and Success Stories

I’ve produced a television show for 25 years, so I know how to produce television, but I had no idea how to transform a book into a movie. If you’re looking to have your book adapted by a producer, you have to present your project in a way that works for producers. Voyage reviewed my book, came up with a log line, a really good treatment, and then we did a lookbook. The lookbook is absolutely phenomenal. I’m blown away at the work Voyage has done. The pictures tell a thousand words, and the copy enhances the whole concept. It basically condenses ten years of my life and a 400-page book into 7 pages of pictures and copy that anybody can look at and in 2-3 minutes know if this is a project they want to invest in. Producers and the people that pull the trigger are busy and have very little time for details. They want to see it in their minds and know its a good movie, and Voyage has done that. Voyage has put my book into a format that I can present to anyone at anytime, and they’ll know in a couple of minutes if this is a project they want. And that’s the key to selling it.

   ——————–

“If you have any interest in getting your book made into a movie or tv series, Voyage can help. You’re not going to be able to mail books to producers on your own and expect to get any kind of return. They get a lot of that stuff, and it probably goes in the trash. But Voyage can help market to these people in a way you can’t do on your own. Voyage helped get my book optioned so that it can potentially be made into a movie. I wouldn’t have gotten this far on my own. The process of working with Voyage was well worth it, and I will certainly go back to Voyage with anything I write in the future.
