Finding Annie is my debut novel self published only last month. A range of people have suggested that it would make a good film. I guess I need a screenplay, but how do I do this with zero experience? Are there people out there prepared to collaborate in such an enterprise? Is there a process of submitting a novel to a film company with a view to their commissioning a screen play? Help and guidance would be greatly appreciated.
If you wrote a novel with zero experience, I'd have thought you should be able to put together a screenplay, too.
My advice is, ‘Find a good agent’. They will do all the work for you - and negotiate film or TV rights on your behalf.
Meant to add go into Opportunities on the bbc web site. The course is run by the University of Anglia, or East Anglia.
