Film & TV Adaptation Strategy

Know where to start.

Many authors are unsure whether to pursue film or television, which materials they need, or how to approach the industry.

An adaptation strategy brings those decisions together into a practical plan based on your book, rights position and goals. Book-to-screen work is exploratory. Phoenix helps you prepare and pursue opportunities, but no service can guarantee representation, adaptation, sale, financing, production or placement.

What Phoenix can help with

• Format Recommendation

  Film, television, limited series or web and streaming options.

• Materials Plan

  Which pitch and development materials to prepare, and in what order.

• Outreach Approach

  How and when to research and approach potential screen partners.

• Roadmap

  A staged plan of realistic next steps.

Useful if you're

• Novelists with a standalone or series
• Non-fiction authors with a true or narrative story
• Published and self-published authors
• Authors exploring film or television for the first time
• Authors with existing adaptation interest who need materials
