Are you a film/TV producer, director, or podcaster?

Look no further than Staunch Book Prize for brilliant thrillers which don’t feature violence to women! The industry is snapping up projects that have more to offer than the ‘beautiful dead women’ trope we’ve all seen done, literally, to death.

Two of our 2018 shortlist have been picked up for TV series:

Alison Gaylin’s IF I DIE TONIGHT

Peter Adamson’s THE KENNEDY MOMENT

THE GODMOTHER, on our 2019 shortlist, will be a feature film starring Isabelle Huppert.

Many of our entries are ideal for adaptation to film, television or podcast, so come and talk to us about published or unpublished novels among our entries.
