Does your book or story feel like it could be a movie or TV series? If so, what can you do to get it out there and made?

For writers and producers who are looking to assess a story's viability for the screen, demystify the book-to-screen business, or reframe material with a pitch and marketing plan - this course is for you.

You may have published a book - or written one that didn't sell - that you feel could be a movie or show, but don't know where to begin. Or maybe you've written a first draft but are feeling stuck because you're not able to see the hook or marketable premise. Or you have an amazing life story you've tried to write as a memoir that you believe is screen-worthy.

Or perhaps you are a film producer whose fallen in love with a novel, magazine article or short story but don't know how to go about optioning the rights to it, let alone adapting it, packaging it, and marketing it. 

In this two-hour virtual course, I will help demystify the landscape for you with actionable steps; from learning how to "screen-capture" your narrative, develop pitch materials for submission, the contractual realities of an option agreement, and the difference between a Hollywood deal and an independent one.
