Your In-House Cinematic Development Arm
In today's media landscape, a book is the foundation for a potential franchise. However, most publishing houses and literary agencies lack the dedicated resources to translate their catalogs into the production-ready scripts and treatments that Hollywood demands.
ScreenwritePro bridges that gap.
We serve as a strategic development partner for publishers, providing studio-level screenwriting services that turn intellectual property into actionable film and TV assets.
Paid Consultation — $50/hour
Want to Discuss a Potential Development Partnership First?
Book time to discuss your project, idea, or screenplay with a professional before deciding what comes next. Consultations are billed at $50 per hour, with no obligation to purchase any ScreenwritePro service afterward.
Strategic Development for Rights Holders
When a publisher presents a title to a studio or production company, a book is often not enough. Producers look for proof of concept. By providing a full-length or a high-end treatment, you move your title to the top of the pile.
Our partnership model allows you to:
- Develop Adaptation Assets: Identify promising titles and move them from literary IP toward book-to-screenplay adaptation, treatments, coverage, and other film/TV development materials.
- Revitalize the Backlist: Identify titles with cinematic potential and breathe new life into older IP.
- Attract High-Tier Talent: Offer your authors a path to the screen that other publishers can't match.
- Minimize Overhead: Gain a full-service film development department without the cost of in-house staff.
- Clean Chain of Title: We deliver every project with comprehensive legal documentation and a clear Chain of Title, ensuring your IP is clean and ready for immediate studio acquisition or financing.
The Industry Link: Brendan Deneen Connection
The primary hurdle in book-to-film deals is the gatekeeper. Even with a great script, getting it read by the right executive is a challenge.
Qualifying projects developed through ScreenwritePro may be submitted to Brendan Deneen for consideration through our professional relationship. This provides an additional industry-facing pathway for projects that meet our internal development standards.
Submission does not guarantee that a project will be read, requested, represented, optioned, sold, or produced.
Flexible Partnership Models
We understand that every publishing house has a different business model. We offer two primary ways to work together:
1. The White-Label Model
We act as your silent partner. You offer screenwriting and adaptation services directly to your authors as a value-add or an upsell, and we handle the execution. You maintain the relationship with the author; we provide the professional output.
2. The Preferred Partner Model
You refer authors directly to ScreenwritePro. This allows you to provide a trusted, vetted solution for authors who are eager to see their work adapted, ensuring their IP is handled by professionals with a track record of 100+ successful projects.
Our Track Record
With over four years of operation and a portfolio of 100+ screenwriting and development projects completed, our team understands the nuances of various markets. We have deep experience in the genres that drive the current streaming and film landscape:

- Romance & Drama — Ideal for TV movie and streaming adaptations.
- Sci-Fi & Fantasy
- Historical & Period Drama — High-value prestige projects.
