Creative Management Partners (CMP) agent Alan Morell has achieved a milestone 277th book and feature film sale of CMP authors' works to publishers, according to an announcement distributed via NEWMEDIAWIRE. The milestone encompasses sales to major publishers and options for TV, film, and audiobooks, reflecting the expanding market for literary intellectual property across multiple media channels.
The deals span a wide range of genres and authors, with publishers including Macmillan, HarperCollins, Penguin Random House, Simon & Schuster, and St. Martin's Press. Notable titles include "Lies I Taught In Medical School" by Dr. Robert Lufkin, a New York Times bestseller, and works by former NATO Supreme Allied Commander General Wesley K. Clark and Dr. John Whyte, Chief Medical Officer of the American Medical Association. The breadth of sales demonstrates the commercial viability of health, wellness, and political nonfiction, as well as cookbooks and memoirs.
Beyond traditional publishing, the milestone includes options for TV and film adaptation with streaming services and networks such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, DisneyABC, Hulu, and PBS/BBC. For example, "Of Course They Knew" by John Moody is being developed as a conspiracy thriller drama series by Washington Square Entertainment and NTD Canada, as detailed in a separate announcement. This cross-media approach underscores how literary works are increasingly valued as source material for film and television, driving revenue and audience engagement.
The milestone also highlights CMP's role in securing deals for authors across diverse platforms. Dr. Adam Brockman, host of Health Talk America, placed his book "Before the Knife" with Blackstone Publishing, while the radio show itself signed with CMP for commercial rights, sponsorships, and talent bookings, according to this release. Similarly, Dr. Lee Newcomer, author of "UNMASKED," signed with CMP, with a publisher offer under negotiation, as noted in another announcement. These deals illustrate the agency's strategy of leveraging authors' expertise and platforms to maximize their reach.
The implications of this milestone extend to the broader publishing and entertainment industries. As streaming services and networks compete for compelling content, literary adaptations have become a key source of programming. Morell's track record of 277 deals positions CMP as a significant player in this space, connecting authors with publishers and producers. The firm's ability to secure multilingual international editions and audiobook deals further expands the revenue potential for authors.
