For authors who have been approached or picked up by a production company, what comes next may lead to unanswered questions with long waits for information, or no updates on the status of their books. An entertainment lawyer with years of experience, Maggie Marr outlines the steps in the process. Who, what, when and why are explained in detail. Her YouTube channel covers the chapters as well, she is a pleasure to watch and listen to. No more guessing and wandering in the desert of 'what now, what if'...this book covers it all.

Wow, my social media is set and ready... and I thank you Maggie for your brilliant expertise and precious advice.
This is a MUST-read for any author who is dreaming of seeing [a version of] their story on the screen, big or small.

This book delivers on the promise of its title. If you want to understand the realities of how rights acquisition works in modern-day Hollywood with the streamers largely in charge, look know further. Great book, thank you Maggie for sharing your expertise!
