What's a screenwriter to do if he has fallen short of breaking into the business with his portfolio of screenplays that no one will even read? The answer is novelization. With a screenplay converted to a novel, the odds are increased that an unknown writer with no connections will capture the attention of a literary agent and/or publisher, and maybe even Hollywood. So, for those of you who are tired of traveling the path of screenplay competitions and query letters to production companies that go nowhere, I invite you to come along with me into the world of novelization. Producing a film is expensive, and for that reason, you have a better chance of obtaining an agent for your novel than you ever would for your screenplay. Script to Novel offers screenwriters step-by-step instructions for turning a feature-length screenplay into a full-length novel. And as an added bonus, because we learn best by example, script pages from the blockbuster Basic Instinct written by Joe Eszterhas are compared to the manuscripts pages of the novelization version written by Richard Osborne. Adapting your screenplay into a novel doesn't mean that you have to give up your dream of one day working as screenwriter. What it does mean is that you are opening up new markets for yourself, enabling you to possibly be recognized for your craft and also keenly rewarded.
