Adapt Your Screenplays into Self-Published Novels
Thanks to Amazon.com and others, unpublished writers have an opportunity like never before to make money from their writing. No need for the big bloated crony establishment system of publishing. Screenwriters who have written dozens of scripts that never see the light of day can now take those stories, establish an IP independently, have thousands of people reading your stories, and make good money!

He'll address adaptation of screenplays into novels, production, publishing, distribution and marketing of self-published novels adapted from screenplays.
By the end of this class you'll know how to:
- Self publish & sell your amazing story;
- Turn your screenplays into novels so people can begin to read your story;
- Distribute and market your story; and
- Leverage your book into a screenplay sale.

FAQs
Are there ID requirements to enter the event?
The good folks at the CBS Security Gate will need to see a government-issued photo ID to match with your name on the list we give them, so make sure you register here and bring your driver's license or passport with you.
What are my parking options getting to the event?
The security personnel will instruct you on where to park when you arrive. This will be based on what other things are happening on the lot that day, so make sure you arrive early enough to walk from where they have you park to MPR-6, the room we will be in that morning. You can ask the security personnel for a map of the lot when you arrive so you can find the building easily.
