Introduce Yourself : Hey there--adapting a screenplay from my YA novel! by Janie McQueen

Janie McQueen

Hey there--adapting a screenplay from my YA novel!

Hey everybody, I'm a longtime journalist and nonfiction writer, and my first novel--Young Adult, The Motherless Child Project--officially "comes out" March 2015, but has been available for purchase since Christmas. I've gotten a small Hollywood bite (very small--request for a PDF of the book--have NO idea how he heard of it--rather big name) and nothing since ;) but I've started on the screenplay because 1) it needs one and 2) I'm dying to write it. So pleased to have found this community! I look forward to meeting new people and hearing your stories!

Alix Beech

Hi Janie. Good luck with the book.

Janie McQueen

Thank you Alix!!

Richard "RB" Botto

Congratulations not only on the book, Janie, but for being proactive in developing and writing the screenplay. Wishing you all the best!

Janie McQueen

Thank you Richard, and Kathryn too! I think I'm more excited about the screenplay than the book... ;)

Benjie Anderson

Congratulations! I'm taking my lead from folk like you who are gettin' it done. Screenplay, huh?
