Book Promotion Ltd's team of Book Pitchers will be at the Cannes Film Festival to promote work commission by authors, main publishers, print on demand publishers and literary agents.
More people than ever is expected. All hotels are pre-booked.
Over one thousand films have been entered for this year's festival. Nearly 5.35.000 journalist,technicians and film buyers of all sort is expected at the Film Festival. 24.827 professionals came to the Festival in 2009. Winner of the Camera d'Or is achieving the highest prestige and ensuring that the film is sold worldwide.
The Festival de Cannes has always been the reflection of its era: a centre for all cultures and hopes, a spring effervescence and above all transmission. Defining ambitious and different projects, giving the possibility to budding filmmakers to emerge fast. A showcase of talents with respect for all tastes. This year will see more countries represented than ever before.
Book Promotion Ltd is pitching new books on behalf of authors, retail publishers, print on demand publishers and literary agents to Film Producers and Directors. The company ensures that selected books are placed in the hand of film producers, experienced in the specific story-line of the book. The books are hand delivered one by one to film producers at the Festival. A very serious way of Book Pitching.
A list is a few weeks after the Cannes Film Festival forwarded to the author, publisher or literary agent, enabling the author to follow up with a personal letter.
As Book Promotion have more contacts, than they can possibly reach during the Cannes Film Festival and some Film Producers want the book sent to their head office, a limited number of new books are forwarded with a personal letter from Book Promotion, recommending the book. Book Promotion representative has presented books at the Film Festival for eight years and knows the way round the very busy marketing place. As books are also considered for DVD production and for Terrestrial television production, without having been made into a main film, a much bigger and more dynamic opening is created for the new author's book.
The cost to the author, publisher or literary agent for this book promotion service is £250.00. Book Promotion's review panel approves each book for the Cannes Film Festival. Book pitches are then worked out.
No guarantee can be given that a new book will be turned into a film - and the competition from established authors is strong, but it will usually be considered. The 63rd Cannes Film Festival takes place from the 12th to 23 of May 2010.
