Good afternoon, I’d like to get some feedback from the group about taking my suspense novel to a screenplay. What avenues would you suggest?
Thank you,
Stacy Leicht

Hello Stacy. I echo what DE White said. It depends if you’re looking to adapt it yourself or have somebody else do it. Screenwriting is a very different skill but many authors have done it.
I don't have a background with screenwriting so I’d need an agent to help. Thanks everyone!

Hi Stacy Leicht - I'd also recommend this Stage 32 webinar on the adaptation journey from book to film/TV. Micky Levy gives great advice: https://www.stage32.com/education?p=8944891724083
