is anyone else adapting their screenplay into a novel? I am doing that with my family screenplay, creating juvenile fiction for self-publishing.

I have thought about it. Thinking if I could get readers behind my material, I would have an audience for the screenplay. Obviously, the only reason I would do it would be to grow my audience for the screenplay.
Almost seems like harder work that adapting a novel to a screenplay though?

I was thinking about doing that with the first feature screenplay I ever wrote. It was TERRIBLE and was written long before I started to get a handle on structure, but in hindsight, I think it would make a decent novel. I'm interested to see how it turns out for you, and any tips or experiences you may have to share in the process. Best of luck! :-)
I haven't taken a script and turned it into a novel, however one of the prizes for a screenwriting competition was to have a screenplay published and sold on Amazon. (Shameless plug) I hope you'll check out the first few pages in the "Look Inside" feature on the page and pick up a copy (available on Kindle too!) if you like what you see! https://www.amazon.com/dp/1973588285/ref=cm_sw_r_fa_apa_h.TpAb8JFBJ92
I am looking for a writer to adapt 3 screenplays into novel please message me if you can do that or know of someone who does. Thank you
Abby are these screenplays you have rights to and/or written by you?
Usually I end up going the other way and writing screenplays based on my novels.
