SUMMARY:Adaptation - Turning Novels to Screenplays and Vice-Versa
DESCRIPTION:Gain expert professional insight on the creative and business best practices for adapting a novel into a screenplay and a screenplay into a novel from a publisher\, an agent\, a novelist and a playwright/screenwriter. \nPURCHASE TICKETS \nOur panel:\nBruce Graham\, playwright/screenwriter/actor \nLiz Moore\, writer of fiction and creative non fiction \nDavid Borgenicht\, CEO and owner of Quirk Books \nJess Dallow\, Brower Literary & Management \n\nIn this panel event\, some of the many questions covered in addition to the audience Q&A will be: \n\nDoes an author automatically get to write the first draft script adaptation of his book when a producer options it?\nWhen should a screenwriter decide to adapt one of their original scripts into a novel (reverse adaptation) — rather than write another original screenplay?\nAre ‘book ‘genres the same as ‘film’ or ‘TV’ genres? When a book gets adapted into a script\, can its ‘genre’ change?\nWhat will it do for the screenwriter’s career? How does an author-turned-screenwriter decide what elements of a story ‘stay’ and what must ‘go’ when adapting their novel/non-fiction book into a script?\nHow should an author who adapts her own books promote herself—as a novelist or a screenwriter? If she’s ‘both’\, will she dilute her career path?\nPublishers don’t always make an issue of securing dramatic rights to works they are acquiring—why does Quirk\, and what do you do with them?\nWhat can authors and publishers do to give their works the best shot at making it onto a big or little screen?\nHow can a publisher ensure that the author stays as involved as he/she wants to in the process of adapting their works?\n\n\nAbout our panelists:\nBruce Graham is a playwright\, screenwriter actor and educator.
