Based on your experience and talents, would it be possible to turn your screenplay into a book? I hear many writers take this path if their pitches to production companies fail.

Hello everyone! I'm a writer from the US (east coast). My preferred genres are fantasy, mystery, and horror, but I do churn out a Christmas script annually for a friend in Nebraska. I working on the page, the stage, and the screen, and love creating new stories to help forge a better tomorrow.

Expand commentI'm currently adapting my screenplay into a novel as part of a larger transmedia project, so it's not necessarily only if the screenplay fails that one might adapt it to a different format. The novel could be used to build a readership which can then be used as an asset for investors- a pre-established property with a built-in audience.
I would say, however, it would appear I'm not as adept at novel writing as I am screenwriting. It's an entirely different discipline.

I'm adapting my screenplay to novel. Yes, it's possible. I know a writer who first writes the script and then the novel, the scripts gives a complete structure, then she has to add "words and feelings" but most of the job is done.

I've gone both ways. Made a novel into a script and a script into a novel. The big difference is the description/fill in the blanks stuff that a director would do for you. But I found it helpful when I was going back and forth. That each fed something good into the other. :-)
