Proven Methods to Generate Bestselling Book Ideas in Minutes

 

What do money-making, blockbuster books—like The Girl on the Train, The Martian, The Hunger Games, and The Da Vinci Code—all have in common?

They’re all built around an idea that grabs your attention in one sentence.

It’s what industry insiders call a “high-concept” idea.

 

And it’s precisely what you need to make sure the novel or screenplay you’ve slaved over gets a second look from publishers, agents, and movie producers.

In this course, you’ll learn exactly how to brainstorm and build out your own high-concept ideas so you can dazzle literary agents, editors, publishers and readers — and take your writing career to the next level.

 

High-concept ideas are basically known as the “holy grail” of the book and book-to-film business.

Because high-concept ideas are known to sell better, faster and for more money than ideas that are not considered high concept.

But what is a high-concept idea? And how do you know if you have one? Or better yet? How do you come up with one that will sell?

 

In this dynamic course, you’ll…

  • Learn exactly what a high-concept idea is
  • Discover the 4 Secret Ingredients of every high-concept idea and how to identify them
  • Learn 5 Proven Methods for brainstorming your own high-concept ideas
  • Get access to loads of exercises and tips to help you apply everything you’ve learned

 

And by the end of this course, you’ll have at least one shiny new high-concept idea for a book or movie that you can start writing immediately.

Whether your creative journey includes self-publishing, traditional publishing, screenwriting, film making, or any other kind of storytelling, the key to success is developing an idea that people can latch onto. 

This course will teach you how to do just that.
