What is the difference between a synopsis and a treatment?
A synopsis is essentially a short summary of your story. A treatment is a detailed outline with your plot and main characters well defined. I have a treatment for a screenplay. Now what? Great. Youve created the foundation for your story. If your treatment is meticulously mapped out, your journey into writing the screenplay will be a much easier ride. If you feel confident in your blueprint then get off the Internet and start writing. If you still have unanswered questions or internal concerns it may be helpful to submit your treatment to StudioNotes and receive some detailed feedback. How do I find out who controls the film rights to a book? You need the title of the book, the author, and the name of the publishing company. Information on film rights can be obtained through the books publishing company. Phone numbers can be obtained through information. Most of the publishing companies are located in New York. Email or fax your request to the publishing companys sub-rights department.
