Show Topic: Adapting A Story

What We're Looking For

You have a novel you want to turn into a screenplay. With the help of a story guru, we try to figure out what to cut, keep and consolidate.

Requirements

  • You have a completed and preferably published novel.
  • You're able to send a beat-by-beat list of events in your story (we can't read every novel submitted, and this will help us judge if your novel is a good candidate).

If Selected For The Show

  • We'll need need a release from you to appear on the show and discuss your story.

Go Ahead And Submit!

  • We'll only respond if we're considering you for the show. But don't feel bad if you don't hear back. Not being selected is mostly about what makes the right show.
  • You will not be added to any email list.
  • Any project pitches will be kept confidential, will not be shared with third parties, and are deleted if we pass.
  • If pitching a project, you release us from liability, should anyone connected to the show be working on a similar idea. Improbable, but not impossible.
