Introduce Yourself : Adaptation from screenplay to novel. by Christopher Chance

Adaptation from screenplay to novel.

Hi guys, I've just completed the adaptation from screenplay to novel. It was easier than novel to screenplay, which I did a while back. My screenplay, ASSASSINS CODE 1, was a real challenge to condense 250 pages of novel to 110 pages of script, but it was worth it.

Now I have expanded 90 pages of screenplay to 170 pages of novel. The main challenge was writing dialogue from the turn of the last century using idiomatic Lancashire accents with 'thee' and 'thou.' Anyway, it was most enjoyable researching the 1914 era and getting it into my pages. Beneath The Poppy Fields is the title of my screenplay—and book.

Best,

Chris Chance
