The
4th Annual Book Pipeline Competition seeks material for film
or television adaptation. Open to writers worldwide, the contest accepts
any genre, fiction or non-fiction. Published and unpublished works are

One
Grand Prize Winner receives $10,000
and circulation to Lakeshore Entertainment (Million Dollar Baby, American Pastoral), QC

and Prejudice and Zombies), Good Fear Film + Management (Polaroid ), Silent R
Management (reps Academy Award winning director Barry Jenkins), in

Most
recently, contest winner I
am Ray Washington was optioned by Zero Gravity
Management (Beasts of
No Nation) in July 2017. Book Pipeline execs circulated the
material to several production companies before the biography was picked
up.
"Prior to the option
agreement, Book Pipeline pushed my book week after week, month after
month to anyone who would listen to the potential Raymond Washington's
life story held. I am hopeful now that one day soon 'I am Raymond
Washington' will on exist on either the small or big screen so
audiences can learn of this amazing person and the life he lived."
