8th Latino Books Into Movies
Entry Period is RE-OPENED
Final deadline is August 15, 2026
Many of us would love to see more movies being produced that star Latinos and feature Latino themes. Recognizing that many movies are adapted from great books, Empowering Latino Futures has created a second competition within its International Latino Book Awards: the Latino Books Into Movies Awards. Through this program, we have honored 113 books. The entertainment industry is a slow-moving market. It is estimated that 5-10% had had offers made on them. We are not part of these offers, nor do we track the production offers. Authors or agents are contacted directly by the production companies. We provide the award-winning books to studios for consideration in movie or TV productions.
TIMELINE
Early 2027: Finalists will be announced.
Webinars on how to promote your book as a TV show or movie. Specific materials are prepared to enhance your book to appeal to the entertainment studios that will receive your books.
TBD: 8th Celebration of The Latino Books into Movies Awards
The books or scripts and their profiles will be going out to studios, production companies, and producers.
