Here are some other ways to use your pitch deck in your book marketing:

• Use it as a talking point with entertainment agents to secure representation for intellectual property (IP) licensing or adaptation rights. Share the pitch deck as part of a query or proposal package to demonstrate your understanding of visual storytelling and the adaptability of your work.
• Include in influencer and reviewer outreach to generate extra excitement and buzz. Add a link to the deck in reviewer kits, especially for BookTok, YouTube or Bookstagram creators who engage with multimedia storytelling, to inspire content creators to engage more deeply, possibly making “casting” or “what if it was a movie” content.
• Submit as part of award and pitch competitions to gain recognition through pitch contests. Using your pitch deck as part of your entry material for film/TV pitch contests at festivals like Austin Film Fest, Script Summit, or events run by ISA (International Screenwriters’ Association) adds credibility and gives you visibility, even if you are not in the film industry.
• Used in your outreach to libraries and bookstores for events, your pitch deck enhances your event appeal. When pitching a book talk, mention the film angle and show the deck to event planners who may want to frame it as a “book-to-screen” discussion. This will set your book apart from others, making the event more engaging.
• Use in paid ads or social media teasers to generate reader interest with cinematic flair. Break the pitch deck into teaser visuals or trailers for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or Facebook ads to boosts engagement with a visually compelling, professional presentation.

In addition to film/TV adaptation, pitch decks (with the proper targeting and information adjustments) can be used for:

• Retailer/Bookseller Pitch: to encourage bookstores and retail outlets to stock your book.
• Media & Press Kits: to introduce your book to journalists, bloggers, podcasters, and media outlets.
• Event/Book Fair Presentation: to promote your book at live/virtual events like expos, book festivals, and author panels.
• Partnership or Sponsorship Proposals: to collaborate with brands, nonprofits, or businesses for co-marketing.
• Awards & Grants Submission: to supplement book award applications or grants with a visual summary of value and impact.

If you would like your pitch deck geared toward one of these outlets, instead of film/TV adaptation, just let us know. Or, you can purchase additional Custom Pitch Decks targeted to these other audiences.
