Adaptational Process

Accompanying Producers and Authors/Screenwriters through the initial process of dramaturgical adaption and implementation, we write in-depth analysis and conclusive concepts.

Book Scouting

Client Assessment
Only after an in-depth exchange can we identify what a Producer is looking for. After screening their previously produced films to get a feel for their style, and establishing our goals and collaboration in a protocol, BuchScout then approaches diverse literary agencies and publishers to select the novel be fitting their wishes, by:

Selection
• Arranging regular meetings with Publishers and Literary Agencies
• Attending Book Fairs (Leipzig and Frankfurt)
• Studying Publisher inventories and Book Reviews
• Checking Bestseller Lists and screening of relevant internet sites
• Book Readings, T.V. and Radio Book Reviews

Film Rights
We determine who holds the rights of selected novels, and whether or not the rights are available. Results We then provide you with a comprehensive report on adaptable, readily available novels that fulfill your requirements.
