Guidelines for Users on Voting
Welcome to BooksOffice!
BooksOffice is your opportunity to vote for the stories you want to see start the journey to your screens!
Book adaptations have long been a source of great films and TV series – but this is the first time we are giving the chance to find those stories to the viewing public. The way it works is simple, but the power of your votes is huge for the writers who submit their work to the site. You are literally giving them the chance to secure an option from a production company with the potential to eventually see their stories come to life on screen. For YOU it’s the chance to influence the stories you really want to see made. The information below explains our voting system and how to use it.
The Different Types of Tickets and Votes
- On BooksOffice we use a Ticket System for voting. Each Ticket you receive gives you a Single Vote
- We use the Ticket System because certain types of Ticket also carry a value that will counts towards a REWARDS SCHEME that will give you special access as the projects develop.
- Regardless of the Type of Ticket, each Single Vote carries the same value in our voting process. One Ticket = 1 Vote
- We currently have TWO Types of Tickets: GREEN TICKETS are FREE TICKETS and ORANGE TICKETS are tickets that have been purchased
- Currently only ORANGE TICKETS count towards our REWARDS SCHEME
Ticket Types: Green = Free Tickets and Orange = Purchased Tickets
Tickets and How to Get Them
- Every user (with the exception of writers and people associated with BooksOffice Limited) receives 5 FREE TICKETS on completion of the Registration Process on BooksOffice.
- You can earn addition FREE TICKETS by inviting your friends to register on the BooksOffice platform and create a user profile. For every two people who complete the registration and profile process, you will receive 5 FREE TICKETS. Each user must be a separate individual with a unique email address who has not previously registered with BooksOffice Limited
- You can keep a track on the the invitations you send and how many people sign up on your profile page.
- To gain further votes you can optionally purchase TICKETS. These are purchased in Packs of 5, with multi packs available at discounted levels.
- Purchased TICKETS qualify for our Star Rating and REWARDS Scheme. The more TICKETS you purchase, the greater the REWARDS you can earn.
- We will be developing our REWARDS SCHEME as the projects progress.
Our Projects and How to Vote
- BooksOffice launches Projects that are aimed at finding Books that would make great films, TV Series, one off dramas and documentaries. You will find information about the projects you can vote in by clicking on the Projects or Voting tabs in the top menu bar.
- You can vote view books submitted to a project and find out more about the story and the author by clicking on the icons in the Project Listing
- When you find a story that you would like to vote for, you click on the VOTE button and it will take you to your TICKET Information. There you will see your current availability of GREEN and ORANGE TICKETS. You then decide how many TICKETS of either type you want to give to the Book – remember that 1 TICKET has 1 VOTE.
- You can give as many TICKETS as you want to any book – and you can vote for as many books as you like in any project
Project Winners
- When the Voting has Closed, the authors of the top ten Books which have received the most votes will have the chance to pitch their story to a team of industry professionals who will select the final winner and offer an option to develop the story for screen.
- It doesn’t matter whether you voted for the winning story or not, your REWARDS will still count because they are related to the number of TICKETS you have PURCHASED not the winner of the voting
