RWA2022 Audio: Book to Screen
Speaker: Dete Meserve

As streaming services and networks demand stories to satisfy our viewing needs, they are relying more than ever on books to provide them. But what goes into the long process of turning a novel into a film or series? The Book to Screen workshop will illuminate a process that can seem mysterious, often glamorous (those Deadline or Variety announcements!), as well as lucrative for authors.

The workshop will be led by Dete Meserve, an award-winning producer of film and television who’s adapted and produced several books into films and TV series. She is also a bestselling author herself. She adapted her first novel, Good Sam, into a screenplay which she produced for Netflix. She is also at work on a second screen adaptation of one of her books.

Meserve will provide a candid, behind-the-scenes, realistic picture of the book-to-film experience. She will walk you through the process from both the perspective of a producer who has acquired books, adapted, and produced them for the screen as well as the perspective of an author whose books have been produced or are currently in the film development process.

If you are an author who has questions about the book-to-screen experience or has ever been approached by producers, this engaging session is definitely for you.
