Why studios are interested (multi-platform package): Film and streaming studios recognize the benefits of having the rights to both your script and book version of your script (adaptation of your script to a book). More details below.
With a script and book version of your script, you have 2 ways to bring attention to your script.
Note: It's not as difficult as you may think to have a book version of your script. Technology and the publishing industry have made it easier and faster than ever to have a book version of your script.
Note: For writers that are also published authors. They know, not all scripts become box office hits and not all books become best-sellers or have high sales numbers.
Why film and streaming studios have a strong interest in multi-platform packages

1. The creative side that approves the script for their executive committee to review.

It is primarily for these reasons that studios have a heighten interest in multi-platform packages. If the genre, concept, and creative storyline of your script meets their needs.
1a. The business side that pays for it.
