How We Work

As Oprah has noted, everyone has a story.

At any given time, you can easily find best-selling books and hit films can be found at the box office that are inspired by or based on true stories. Movies like The Pursuit of Happyness, The Sea Inside and Mask ... television shows like Everybody Loves Raymond - these are all based on the true-life stories of real people.

We started TrueStories4Hollywood.com to make it easier for people with great stories (Storytellers) to put their stories right in front of the biggest names in the entertainment and publishing industries ... people who are paying TOP DOLLAR EVERY DAY for stories they can turn into movies, TV shows or books.

We are the fastest, easiest way to get TERRIFIC TRUE STORIES to the right people in Hollywood and the publishing world, matching the power of the Internet with our extensive network of contacts and years of experience in getting true stories sold to movie studios, production companies, writers, directors, publishers and television networks.

How we work is simple:

1. People with great true stories sign up as Storytellers... for free. When you are ready to tell your story, you pay a small $50 fee and use our Storytelling Guide to help structure and tell your story. If you're uncertain of your storytelling skills, we even have a team of experienced Hollywood writers to help you craft your story.
2. Once a Storyteller has uploaded their story, it goes directly to the computer screens of top entertainment and publishing decision makers... people who are looking to buy great TRUE STORIES that they can turn into a film, television show or book.
3. If someone buys your true story, you receive the full amount of the transaction minus a 5% commission paid to TrueStories4Hollywood.com... substantially less than the 10-15% commission charged by agents.
4. If you are a person with a great true story or Hollywood producer or publisher, sign up today. IT'S FREE!
