How to get published fiction optioned for screenplay adaptation?

I'm not a screenwriter, and I'm still working on the final two volumes in what will be an 8 volume sci fi/detective/speculative story series, The Casebook of Elisha Grey. The backstory & details of Atlantis are, yes, in my head (it's a crowded place!) What's the best way to market my work for adaptation? The story bible is already registered with WGAW. Thanks!

There's more than one way to skin a cat. That said, one great way to score points in your favor is be reviewed by Kirkus and Publishers Weekly. Books that receive a Starred Review certainly get a look from producers and book scouts. I read the NY Times book review email every week, as well as weekly emails from Kirkus and Publishers Weekly.
