Nakazzi & Co. book scouts specialise in identifying manuscripts with strong commercial potential for both publishing and adaptation into film and TV. If you're an author looking to have your work considered, follow the instructions below.

What Our Scouts Look For

Our scouts seek manuscripts that exhibit:

  • Strong Storytelling & Unique Voice – A compelling narrative with a distinctive writing style.

  • Commercial Viability – Books with a clear audience and market appeal.

  • Genre Strength – We focus on high-concept speculative fiction, fantasy, thriller, and contemporary fiction with strong themes.

  • Adaptation Potential – Stories that translate well into visual media (TV & film).

  • Author Readiness – A manuscript that is polished or near submission-ready, along with an author willing to engage in the publishing process.
