I am thrilled to share that we have closed a two-book deal for Academy Award-winning director and screenwriter QUENTIN TARANTINO with Noah Eaker at HarperCollins in the US.
This deal includes Quentin's debut novel ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD as well as his first nonfiction project, a deep-dive into 1970’s cinematography titled CINEMA SPECULATION.
Both titles are embargoed so we are doing hard copy submissions only.
There has been an outpouring of interest from rabid fans around the world and we will soon announce deals in the UK, Italy, France, Spain, Brazil, Holland, Israel, and Finland.

New York Times:
Quentin Tarantino Turns His Most Recent Movie Into a Pulpy Page-Turner
By Dwight Garner
June 28, 2021
Quentin Tarantino’s first novel is, to borrow a phrase from his oeuvre, a tasty beverage.
It’s his novelization of his own 2019 film “Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood” (the book’s title omits the ellipsis). It’s been issued in the format of a 1970s-era mass-market paperback, the sort of book you used to find spinning in a drugstore rack.
Booklist:
Oscar-winning director Tarantino explored Hollywood fairy tales circa 1969 in his most recent movie, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019). He now deepens that inquiry in his first novel, which was inspired, in part, by his fondness for typical movie novelizations.
Washington Post:
Quentin Tarantino turned his last movie into a novel, but don’t think you know the ending

Two years after “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” hit theaters, Quentin Tarantino has novelized his Oscar-winning movie, calling the result a “complete rethinking” of the story. Repackaging, cynics might think. But that’s not quite right: The book is a distinct experience — rangier, sexier, bloodier. More wistful, and somewhat more oblique in meaning, it expands the film’s world even as it comments upon it.
