On Writing : Penelope Fox by Penelope Fox

Penelope Fox

Turning my historical fiction novels into a TV series:: Daisy in a Gun Barrel: Peace & Freedom, Love & War, Rock & Roll the 1960s (on Amazon, B&n) and the sequel 1970s Aftermath: Where Have All the Flowers Gone? I am not a screen/play writer so I'm not sure where to start. Suggestions?

Welcome to the community, Penelope Fox. Here's a webinar I think you'll find helpful: "How to Adapt a Book Into a Film or Series" www.stage32.com/webinars/How-to-Adapt-a-Novel-Into-a-Film-or-Series

Penelope Fox do you want to write the screenplay or are you thinking of hiring/collaborating with someone?

Penelope Fox

Thanks for the comments. I'd rather collaborate with a screenwriter who can relate to the 1960s.

You're welcome, Penelope Fox. Ok, this blog should be helpful then: "How to Adapt a Novel into a Screenplay: The Author + Screenwriter Collaboration" www.stage32.com/blog/how-to-adapt-a-novel-into-a-screenplay-the-author-s...

You could post an ad for a screenwriter in the Job Section (www.stage32.com/find-jobs).

Great advice from Maurice on this one.

Thanks, Richard "RB" Botto. When I read Penelope Fox's comment ("I'd rather collaborate with a screenwriter who can relate to the 1960s"), I thought, "Stage 32 has a blog for that."

Simon Rose

Thanks for this, Penelope. I've published a number of novels as well, including ones in the historical fiction genre, and am interested in opportunities for TV series.

These sounds like really cool novels! What inspired you to write them?

Debbie Croysdale

@Penelope Sounds very interesting. I’m into 40s/50’s/60’s/70’s so will check out your novels when got spare time. Have you thought of going Transmedia? Novelettes, comic, poetry etc.
