About Book to Screen
The stories behind tomorrow’s movies and television.
Book to Screen is an editorially curated adaptation tracker following books, articles, podcasts, comics, short stories, and true stories as they make their way toward film and television.
Our Mission
Follow the source material before it reaches the screen.
Every adaptation begins with a source. Sometimes it is a bestselling novel or celebrated memoir. Other times, it is a magazine article, podcast, comic, short story, or remarkable real-life event.
Book to Screen collects and organizes adaptation announcements so readers and viewers can discover the original stories behind upcoming movies and television projects.
Our goal is to create a useful, accessible archive for anyone interested in the connection between publishing, storytelling, and the screen entertainment industry.
