Above the Clouds

Books-to-Film

Our Mission is to bring great NEW stories to life on screen. Twenty years of publishing all kinds of books for authors all over the USA and abroad proved to us that there are millions more great stories fit for the screen in the ocean of published titles by talented authors. 

So when Authors ask, "Who will evaluate my novel for film?" Nightengale Press answers, "Our knowledgeable screenwriters will. They know what it takes to tell your story for the screen." 

 
To adapt a novel for film so it can be suitable for the screen is a huge project. That's why qualifying your book for adaptation through a fair and objective process is so valuable to the producers who are looking for a great story for their next film.
Does your book read like a movie? Most novels do. Just submit a book for adaptation to join us as we build the future of film on the stories of yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Even an older book is new if you haven't read it!
Every famous author was once an unknown writer. 
If we could read the life stories of everyone who ever lived,
then we'd have the only true history of the world.

Over 20 years, Nightengale Press published titles for authors all over the United States and abroad. As a small, solo book publisher, offering editing, layout and design, cover art, website design and marketing advice, Valerie soon discovered that the talent pool in the literary world is wide and deep, although the household-name authors are actually few and far between by comparison. Nightengale Press produced many award-winning books (Foreword Magazine's Book of the Year Award, Reader Views: Reviewers Choice Award, Parent-to-Parent Adding Wisdom Award and Amazon best-sellers in niche categories) as Nightengale Press grew to the production output of a medium-sized publishing house about six years into the profession. 

The unread genius of authors who stand back in the shadows is where we often find brilliant tales in fiction as novels, in children's books, and in humor and story-twisting short story collections, which all came together in a robust library of good reads.

We begin here. And, we look toward the future with optimism and confidence that people will always be writing to tell their stories and that filmmakers will always be looking for great stories from talented authors to bring to the screen.
