MIA | Mercato Internazionale Audiovisivo confirms for its 12th edition the Book Adaptation Forum (BAF). This program, designed to link editors, producers, literary agents and industry professionals, aims to explore and enhance the growing market of literary adaptations. BAF not only promotes unpublished titles, but offers, as well, international networking opportunities, with a forward-looking approach to the global audiovisual market.
The BAF represents a unique opportunity to support the discovery of new intellectual property and the circulation of literary works, whilst fostering synergy between the publishing and audiovisual sectors.
Involving editors, agents, literary scouts and audiovisual producers from the whole world, MIA, through BAF, aims to animate the adaptation market, enhancing the collaboration between literary and audiovisual professionals, creating a platform to promote IP protection and worldwide distribution. With this initiative, MIA aspires to contribute to a sustainable and innovative future for cultural production and consumption, offering new opportunities to authors and the whole audiovisual industry on an international level.
CALL FOR IPs!
Submissions are now open for editors willing to propose unpublished novels (due to be published in autumn 2026) to show at our literary adaptation market.
A committee with national and international experts will choose 10 unpublished novels to be showcased at BAF, during the 12th edition of MIA 2026.
The presentation of the selected books will be held by editors, literary agents, and, eventually, the authors themselves.
BAF includes the following activities:
- Dedicated pitching forums to present selected titles
- One-on-one meetings, both pre-scheduled or scheduled on site
Deadline: September 15th, 2026
