Purchase Adaptation Review & 60 Minute Call with an Executive

A thorough analysis of your literary work’s potential to be adapted for the screen

About Your Adaptation Review + 60 Minute Call

The goal with our Adaptation Review is to help you move forward and take the next step in your craft, career or project with advice from a seasoned professional in film or television.

One popular thing that film and TV buyers look for in the market are stories that are based on IP (Intellectual Property) that can be greenlit and adapted for the screen. This can include a book or unpublished manuscript, a graphic novel or comic book, an interesting podcast, a blog, an article in a magazine or newspaper and even video games or board games! 

Now, exclusively through Stage 32, we are working with top adaptation experts to work with you! With our Adaptation Review you will submit an overview of your Intellectual Property (book, manuscript, graphic novel, article, podcast, etc.), your bio, a synopsis of your work, character descriptions and questions you'd like to ask your executive. Then, you'll schedule a 60 minute (minimum) call to talk through their professional feedback and where it fits in the marketplace. This is your opportunity to build a professional relationship with someone on the inside of the industry. It is also your chance to discuss not only your projects's strengths and weaknesses, but an overall development and sales strategy with the help of a professional.

This is access and expertise you can't get anywhere else.

How Do you Know if an Adaptation Call is Right For You?

- You've written a Book or an unpublished Manuscript. You want to discuss the possibility of an adaption of your work. You know that your book or manuscript would make a fantastic Feature Film, Series or Limited Series.
