Check
Confirm who controls screen rights and whether any contract, collaborator, or previous option affects the project.
Film & television
Prepare your book for a careful screen-potential review.
Translate the heart of the book into a clear premise, audience, format, and rights position before approaching film or television professionals.
Preparation is not representation.

How the review works
A useful screen submission starts with three checks.
Prepare
Shape a concise logline, story summary, audience note, and rights overview for screen-focused readers.
Explore
Consider likely format, comparable projects, adaptation strengths, practical constraints, and the next responsible step.
What to prepare
Start with the book.
You do not need a screenplay to begin. A substantially developed manuscript, short synopsis, publishing status, rights information, and your adaptation goals provide a useful starting point.
