BOOK SYNOPSIS:  $600
SCRIPT (FILM OR TV) SYNOPSIS:  $300

Treatments are tricky. A good one needs to tell the whole story of your book or film in just 10-12 pages, and it needs to do it in a way that blows the mind of the read. It needs to capture tone, plot, character, and all the reasons why the reader would want to take that story to the next level. But what if you aren’t sure about these elements? Trai can either adapt a book into a film treatment, or help a writer of any genre develop and then compose a treatment ready to fly out the door.
BOOK ADAPTATION TREATMENT:  $1500
SCRIPT / NOVEL / NONFICTION TREATMENT:  $700
