My publisher, Authorhouse wants to sell me an"opportunity" to shop my book around to producers in search of stories to make into screenplay. They say that because my topic is current & popular, it has a good chance in film. I'd rather go grassroots. What do you guys think?

Amber, as Suzanna mentioned, WGA is a trusted source of information. Of course there's the old saying, "Never trust anyone making a commission on you". I'd be concerned with having to pay up front. They should take a cut on what they sell. Wish you all the best.
You guys rock! Yes Jak, You read my mind, I am praying, meditating, feeling my way through it; printing it out, highlighting points... So helpful!
Bob, Thx for the encouragement about self-publishing. I don't know if it was confidence or blind passion. I just had to record the whole insane ordeal while it was still raw. More has happened since then & I need to refine it all. Kind regards!
I feel the need to clarify about "...more has happened..." Yes, it has & I've learned more about addiction but it's not just about me. Both my story & addiction are bigger than me, & people worldwide...
Expand commentI feel the need to clarify about "...more has happened..." Yes, it has & I've learned more about addiction but it's not just about me. Both my story & addiction are bigger than me, & people worldwide are touched by the same issues. I believe we don't have to be "anonymous", & a more progressive, open, even humorous approach could be not only helpful but downright entertaining. Why not have a sense of humor about it, albiet, dark humor. Clearly, it's not about being a screenwriter to me (though I love it). It's about raching out. Good day all!
...That's "reaching" out. It won't let me edit. :)
