How to Pitch Your Book to Netflix: An Essential Guide for Indie Authors

With the incredible amount of outstanding indie titles that have made a splash on the foreign rights stage, it has been so exciting for us to present indie authors with opportunities that were once exclusively reserved for traditionally published ones.
One such opportunity is the possibility of having their books adapted into Netflix films or series.

Understanding the Netflix Pitch Process
It’s important for indie authors to first understand the process of pitching a book to Netflix. Netflix, as one of the leading streaming giants, has become increasingly interested in adapting books into original content.
This offers both established and indie authors an excellent opportunity to see their stories brought to life on screen.
Netflix typically doesn't accept unsolicited submissions from authors. Instead, they prefer to work with agents, publishers, and established industry professionals who can help curate content and ensure a streamlined process.
This is where the importance of agent representation comes into play, and where our rights agency is positioned to help.
