From book to movie, TV and etc

Done 30 books and now it is time to make them into something else...Where do I begin?

Feather Flowdream

How would I know that when almost any book can and has been used to make movies and etc?

1) check feasibility (is it visualizable?) 2) prepare timeline by roughly fitting your story into a 2hour(?) movie timeline. 3) identify parts that are important to you, break them down into "scenes" 4) recode your "messages" and information in movie-language using principles like 'rather show than tell' and use multi-modallity to give it depth and deeper meanings. 5) go over it to make your own creative "voice" or "handwriting" come out. You have a wonderful way with images, judging from the pictures you posted. Use that.

Leverage "viral blogging" to attract the like-minded people that use "keywords" similar to you. You can also use the Synergy Collaborative blogging system that is pre-optimized. (and pre-monetized if you want to earn money with it too.)

If I could earn $30 a day I could eat well

where would I go to get this?

Lisa Scott

at the blood bank... although, i doubt they'll let you come in every day.

anyhoo -- i love your name. where your parents first generation hippi's or what? what kind of 30 books are you talking about? novels? are they published? are they being sold, like on Amazon? you can do 2 things: determine whether you want to adapt one of your books to a screenplay OR hire a seasoned writer to do that for you. i suggest you google something like: turn my novel into a screenplay and read as much as you can about it, so you can determine whether you want to go through all of that transformation or pay someone to do it.

Feather Flowdream

would need money to do that..but thanks.. and yes all on amazon and no not hippies

Lisa Scott

but if you're selling books on Amazon then you should have some money. if the books aren't selling then you have to determine whether they're adaptable. if even one book is, then it's up to you to INVEST in it, either your own time and learning the craft of scriptwriting or by paying someone to do it. INVEST is the key word. if you're not willing to invest in it then why would you expect a movie producer to invest in it? it's like saying, you want to be a doctor, but unwilling to invest the time and money to go through years of school. you think a hospital will hire you anyway?

the art of promoting your work could start with a link to your work on your profile page. that physical descriptive stuff is for the actors on the site. nobody cares what the writers look like. anyway -- this one's for you: https://imagination.usa.canon.com/create-a-trailer?utm_source=BenchmarkE...
