Book Pipeline

Connecting Writers with Publishers, Agents, and the Film Industry

Since 2014, Book Pipeline has helped authors secure literary representation, publishing deals, and adaptation opportunities by connecting them with publishers, agents, editors, and film industry professionals. Through its Unpublished and Adaptation contests, Book Pipeline discovers exceptional fiction and nonfiction from both emerging and established authors.

Contests & Career Development

With a long-term, hands-on approach, Book Pipeline goes beyond traditional writing contests by providing personalized career guidance and industry circulation. Writers receive:

  • $25,000 through the Unpublished Contest
  • $5,000 for the Adaptation Contest
  • Direct introductions to publishers, literary agents, and editors
  • Consideration from producers seeking books for film & TV adaptation
  • Long-term development and promotion of selected authors and their work

Genres include fiction, nonfiction, memoir, romance, sci-fi/fantasy, literary fiction, mystery/thriller, picture books, middle grade, and young adult. Book Pipeline’s extensive industry network ensures that standout projects receive strategic support from an experienced team of execs, tailored to their market potential.

The Book Pipeline Workshop

Beyond contests, the Book Pipeline Workshop provides custom editorial feedback on:

  • Manuscripts (fiction & nonfiction)
  • First impressions (first 2,000 words)
  • Full synopsis reviews

Select manuscripts are also considered for direct industry circulation, helping authors refine their work and find a small shortcut in the submission process with targeted, professional insights.
