Hi! I'm the author of two chick lit novels. They never found an audience but I really think they'd make a great streaming show so I plan to write a pilot based on them.

Welcome to the community, Cat Caruthers. Stage 32 has resources that can help you adapt your novels, such as this blog (www.stage32.com/blog/authorsits-time-to-take-your-book-to-screen-2373). Members post advice about adapting novels in the Screenwriting Lounge sometimes (www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting).

Hey Cat, good for you! You're creating and using your own IP, that is the best way to take control! We have a service that is just for adapting the book to screen. You can check it out here: https://www.stage32.com/scriptservices/coverage/buy?id=66. It could be really useful as you dive into writing the screenplays. We also have several webinars about creating and developing your own IP at different stages, you can search here: https://www.stage32.com/webinars

Thanks to everyone for being so welcoming. I will check out some of the resources. I attempted to write a TV series years ago but it's been a long time. Back then I used a free program called Celtx. Please tell me I don't need to buy expensive software.

Fade in is excellent and affordable
I use Final Draft 12 as my primary screenwriting software, Cat Caruthers, but I use WriterDuet as a backup. WriterDuet is affordable. www.writerduet.com
