Converting a Screenplay into a Profitable Book Swiftly
Most professional screenwriters have several un-produced screenplays on their computers. These scripts represent hundreds of hours of work, fully developed plots, and great characters. When a screenplay hasn't found a producer, it makes sense to make the most of that high-value intellectual property by turning it into a novel that can be self-published or sold to publishers. This workshop delivers step-by-step instruction on how to swiftly and elegantly convert feature film and television scripts into books audiences love.
Note: Many production companies are purchasing books to license and produce rather than optioning spec screenplays these days. It may be that your unsellable script becomes significantly more attractive to producers when it's a published novel that has a significant following.
Topics addressed in this recorded workshop include:
- Primary differences between books and screenplays in terms of viewpoint, structure, tense, and their impact on the reader.
- How to analyze your script and make key decisions before you start writing that will make your novel easier to write and make your finished book a much better read.
- How to expand and evolve the story in a screenplay to make a longer book, and how to combine plots from sequels or series episodes to create a longer book or a series of books.
- How publishing and marketing a book helps your screenplay get produced.
- How film producers can use script-to-book publishing to fund and promote the films they want to produce.
