I attended an Author’s Marketing Conference back in the summer and one of the workshops I participated in really piqued my interest.
Story Rocket is a website created specifically to provide a place for TV and movie producers, agents, scouts, and directors to go looking for new material.
I don’t know about you, but I can visualize my stories on the big screen, whether it be a movie or TV show. So, I jumped at the chance to get on this bandwagon. The cost to join is $120 per year, but because I attended the conference, I got a substantial discount and paid only $75. To me, that was a huge saving.
Anyway, I have three of my books up so far on Story Rocket.
I would love it if you would take a look at one or all of them and give me some feedback. Have I chosen a powerful logline? Does the synopsis read well and tell enough of the story? What about the actors and actresses I chose to portray Luke Stone and Darlina Flowers?
This is all new to me, but I am excited that I am getting a good amount of views in the short time the projects have been up.
Here are the links to the projects I have up.

Please take a look when you have a minute and see what you think.
If you have a book or series of books you think would make a great movie or TV series, join me on Story Rocket and let’s see what happens. 🙂 And, if you do put any up, please let me know so I can go take a look.
Wish me luck!
Wow, Jan! That’s fabulous! I hope one of those folks take a shine to your books. Best wishes, my friend. <3
Thanks, Colleen! So do I. 🙂
Wow, how cool! I’d never heard of Story Rocket before, but you know I’ve been saying your story with Rick needs to be made into a movie. I followed the links and think your log-lines are great. I’m going to have to take a deeper look at the site too. This is awesome, Jan. Fingers crossed and wishing you all the best!
Thank you, Mae. I appreciate that you took the time to look at the projects. I still need to upload ‘Til Death Do Us Part, then they’ll all be there. It’s a longshot as to whether or not anyone will see them, but all I can do is put them out there. The rest is up to the Universe. 🙂
Fingers crossed for you!!
Thank you for this post, amazing opportunity.
Thanks, Adele. I appreciate you stopping by!
My pleasure.
Beautifully done, Jan! Each of the videos captures the essence of this great love story and I’m looking forward to reading them all. Sharing…
Thank you, Bette!
Go get ’em, my friend.💗 And as for Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone together in these roles … Chemistry anyone? I’ll be joining the site when I have the funds. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
Thanks for your comment, Soooz! In the meantime, maybe they’ll run a special rate for the holidays. I’d love to see your books up.
Good luck, Jan!
Thanks, Olga!
Huh… I’ve never heard of them, Jan. I’m intrigued. I will certainly investigate. I look forward to hearing more about your experience with the site. Meanwhile, wishing you huge success with it. Mega hugs!
Thank you, Teagan. I can promise that if I get any action through the website, I will shout it out to the world! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by and for the well-wishes. Hugs!
Read them all and would give you an option, Jan. Unfortunately, I’m not in the picture making business. Best wishes.
Awwww, thanks, John. I sure do wish you were. 🙂 I appreciate you taking a look.
🙂
No, Debbie. That is the amount per year for a membership and unlimited uploading of books. I agree that it is a little steep and if I hadn’t had access to the deep discount, I probably would have passed on it. Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment.
Fabulous share Jan. Good luck, rooting for you to get picked! $125 is a little steep for my blood for a ‘maybe’ right now. Is that a membership fee or per book entry? x
Jan, I’m so proud of you forging ahead into unknown territory and putting your books out there. Oh man, I’d be so happy for you if someone would pick these up. They would make excellent movies. Good Luck, sister!!
Thank you, sister. As I have said before, it’s a longshot, but everything in this crazy business seems to be just that. I appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment. Love you!
Best of luck with it, Jan.
Thanks, Craig!
Thank you, Staci! I would love to hear your feedback.
I popped over to see what it was like. I was afraid it would be pages and pages and I wouldn’t have time now, but the synopses were easily manageable. You’ve got a lot of talent, Jan. I really hope this works out for you.
Thanks, Staci. I appreciate that you took time to look.
Definitely wishing you luck. I never heard of story rocket. Interesting. I hope to get a chance to read your projects this week.
Good morning Jan. I read all your submissions and the trailers. They are well done. I am so in awe of your writing. I like your choices of actors/actresses to portray you. Sending prayers that a really good producer/director will grab on to your stories and run with them in the most complimentary of ways. Good luck to you ladybug! LOL
Awwww, thank you, Judy! Love you, girl!
Thank you, Annette! Let’s just hope a producer or agent feels the same. I appreciate your vote of confidence and support! Have a wonderful day! Hugs!
This is really cool and you know, I have always thought your works belong on the big screen. I believe all the stories about you and Rick would make a great mini series and the most recent short story you shared here, would be a wonderful made for t.v. movie. GO GIRL
I looked at flowers and stone and as Robbie said it looks very professional …Good Luck 🙂
Thank you, Carol. I am thrilled that you took a look at “Flowers and Stone.” I appreciate your comment and well wishes!
I popped over and had a look, Jan. I watched Home at Last. It looks very professional. Well done.
Thanks, Robbie. I am happy you took a peek. I hope it is enough to garner some interest.
Jan- WOW!! What an amazing opportunity. You know how much I loved and adored this series. Truly a wonderful story which captured a true love story. I loved the synopsis and the actors you chose.
I wish you the best of luck because this is a love story that needs to be fined and shared with the world. Love you and again best of luck, you deserved to be on the silver screen.
Awwww, thank you, sweet Tonya. I appreciate your comment SO much! And, I appreciate your confidence in the story and support. I hope you have a blessed day! Hugs!
Terrific, Jan! Your books (and life) would be wonderful on the big screen. I peeked at your submissions and they are very well done. I’m so excited for you and wish you all the best! And, Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone are PERFECT! 🙂
Thanks for taking a look, Gwen. I am glad you agree with my actor choices. The idea is just to give a producer a visual of what you see the characters as. It’s a longshot, but one I wanted to take. Have a great day! Hugs!
All the luck in the world, Jan…
Thank you SO much!!
Very interesting thanks Jan… as you say, we all have that dream of seeing our books on the big screen. xx
Right, Sally. I know it’s a longshot, but heck, everything in this business is a longshot. 🙂 I appreciate you stopping by and taking a look! And, for reblogging! Hugs!
Good luck Jan and look forward to hearing how it goes..hugsx

We all have that dream that our books might transition to the big screen.. but few of us actually do anything about it. Jan Sikes has and you can find out more about Story Rocket and her three submissions on her blog.. Very interesting and well worth a look..
Thank you SO much, Sally for reblogging.
