Producers and production companies actively seek these stories, even if the book isnt on the New York Times Bestseller list.

There are more movies adapted from books and other intellectual properties now than ever before. Producers and production companies actively seek these stories, even if the book isn’t on the New York Times Bestseller list.  

This OnDemand webinar will cover the adaptation process of turning a book into a screenplay from both the perspectives of screenwriters seeking to find books to adapt, and also authors not only wishing to adapt their own books, but also who aim to understand the adaptation process.

The reality is, the movie will never be just like the book. Ever. And this session will lay out the many reasons why, and if it’s possible for an author to have any type of control. 

Jeanne Bowerman adapted the Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Slavery by Another Name, into both a feature screenplay and a limited series, pitching it to major production companies and studios. In this webinar, Jeanne covers why Hollywood loves intellectual property, what makes a book attractive for adaptation, and how to cut down a full-size novel into a two-hour story, including advice on limited series.

Attendees will get clear, actionable advice to help them achieve their goals of adaptation.

What You Will Learn:

  • Why Hollywood loves adaptations
  • What makes an adaptable story
  • Book options and film rights
  • Pitching an author for the rights and pitching Hollywood
  • The screenwriter/author relationship
  • The actual process of adapting a book, both fiction and nonfiction
  • Screenplay structure
  • When and how to get Hollywood involved

Who Should Attend:

  • Authors who want to understand how a book gets adapted
  • Screenwriters who want to adapt books
  • Authors wanting to maximize the success of their novels
  • Writers who want to challenge themselves to write in a different medium
  • Authors who want to learn how to adapt their own books
  • Writers who want to extend their skill set into writing adaptations

Extremely versatile and strong. Worth the price!
These organizers were great for getting the oh so many items that were laying all over the place in my garage securely organized. I love them. They are super strong and extremely versatile~ There are many attachment points so no way they are going to fall off the wall. they hold strongly! Solid metal with a durable finish that I and sure will last the test of time. The hooks are easy to attach and reposition when need be and they stay firmly in place. With the many similar racks available- I’m very happy I chose this set. Well worth the money.

So far so good. I wound up putting sand and water in it. It’s been stable. We’ll see how the finish holds up.

As I expected,My garage said goodbye to the clutter and my tools are hanging in order.
My garage is clean all of a sudden! I don't want my garage to be cluttered because it makes me irritable. I like that the hooks are divided into upper and lower levels, which makes it easy for me to take out what I want. And the hooks are easy to remove, which makes it easy for me to change the placement of the hooks, and now my tools are set up the way I want them, which is perfect. Finally, the tool rack is suitable for a straight line across the placement, not up and down, which is too waste of space.

Love It!
Love this product! We use these sets for fitness equipment storage at our gyms. Anyway I can order several of the 5.8 inch attachments. We use these for Olympic barbells, and need more of just the 5.8 inch. Tough to purchase an entire set when we only need more of the 5.8 inch. Thank you!

Great product!
This was just as expected. I do wish they were a little longer as you can really only use 2 hooks on a panel due to tools touching each other. The product overall is great! It's sturdy and looks awesome!
