Film Consultation Application
APPLICATION ONLY · CONSULTATION SOLD SEPARATELY
APPLICATION ONLY · CONSULTATION SOLD SEPARATELY
Apply to consult your book's film and television rights with a producer, production company, or studio representative at StoryCon. This is the application only — every submission is reviewed and scored, and authors who are selected are then invited to purchase a 15-minute consultation appointment ($149). Applying does not reserve or guarantee an appointment.
What’s included:
Committee review of one published property for consultation readiness
A written scorecard across six criteria — Concept, Adaptability, Marketability, Character, Audience, Consultation Readiness
If selected: an invitation to purchase a 15-minute consultation, matched to a film professional actively seeking your category of IP
Not included: the consultation itself, which is a separate $149 purchase available only to applicants who are selected
FAQ’s:
What does the $19 buy?
Review of your submission and a written scorecard. It does not buy a meeting. Selected authors purchase their consultation separately for $149.
Can I apply with an unpublished manuscript or a story idea?
No. Your property must be published — traditionally or self-published. Concepts, pitches, and works in progress are not eligible.
Do I need a StoryCon ticket to apply?
Yes. A StoryCon registration or presenter badge is required to apply and to attend a consultation.
Who will I meet with?
Consultations are matched, not random. StoryCon works from participating companies' active wish lists — middle grade and family adventure, YA fantasy, romance, comedy, thriller, horror, book club fiction, animation, contained low-budget stories, holiday, true stories, and more — and matches selected properties to a professional seeking that category. You'll learn your match before your appointment.
What happens if I'm not selected?
You still receive your scorecard. The $19 application fee is not refunded, since the review is the service being purchased.
Does StoryCon take a cut if something sells?
No. StoryCon receives no ownership interest in your IP and takes no percentage of any option, sale, or eventual production.
I understand this is an application, not an appointment. StoryCon facilitates introductions and does not act as a literary or film agent. StoryCon makes no guarantee of selection, representation, option, sale, development, or production. Industry guests are not obligated to provide feedback. Submission does not create a confidentiality obligation unless separately agreed. Similar projects may already exist or be independently in development. I represent that I control or am authorized to represent the film and television rights to the property I am submitting. Any subsequent negotiation occurs directly between the rights holder and the producer or studio.
