Adapting Your Novel For Film

Are You Ready to Adapt Your Novel For Film?

"We want to turn your book into a movie!"
"Your book would make a great movie!"

Have you been approached by a producer or production company? Has someone told you that your book would make a great movie? Are you longing to turn your book into a movie script? Although some producers do option books, many prefer to deal with a script that has already been adapted. There are two ways to go: pay someone to do the adaptation or do it yourself.

While there are many writers out there more than willing to do it for you, it can be very expensive. You're paying for the writer's screenwriting experience: an adaptation is really a new way to tell your story and requires unique skills. They'll either want to be paid upfront or, less often, you can find a writer willing to work on "spec." That means the writer won't be paid unless the script is sold or optioned. Either way, you'll need a solid contract and you'll have to give up fifty percent, or more, of the money. Or, you can stretch your skills as a writer and learn how to adapt the novel yourself.

When I first considered adapting my novel, I Love Luci – When I Don’t Want to Kill Her there were some who believed that because the techniques were so different, novel writing ruined screenwriters and screen writing ruined novelists. They were separate entities and never the twain should meet.

As I went through the process, I could see their point. A novelist can use the full slate of writing tools to tell a story, such as moving in and out of characters' heads, to reveal information or show character development or just telling the reader something key.

Script writing is very tight, very visual writing and is only about what can be seen. And you only have 120 pages, or less, to tell your story.

Despite the naysayers, I found it to be a rewarding and interesting experience—and not nearly as mystical and mysterious as some would have you believe.

Like any other kind of writing, with the right information, mastery is possible.

Made-up Mayhem: Secrets to Writing the Suspense/Romantic Suspense Novel

While I feel a bit guilty about it, made-up mayhem can be a lot of fun. It’s very cathartic to put your characters through trials and tribulations. And if someone annoys you, well, your villains will always need expendable characters to knock off. Fictional killing doesn’t involve you in strip searches or prison time.

Like many writers, I was a reader first and I became an avid reader of suspense novels when I discovered that The Moonspinners wasn’t just a Haley Mills movie.

Suspense novels come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from the big, multi-plot blockbusters to romantic suspense to small chillers. They came disguised as paranormals and science fiction, but there are certain elements that mark them as a suspense or thriller. And if you bring the question up on writers’ lists, you’ll spark a major discussion, but what most writers will agree about a suspense novel must have:

Pauline Baird Jones was born and raised in Wyoming, and then lived in New Orleans with her husband and children for 18 years before moving to Houston TX in 2003. For four years, she wrote a humor column for her Wyoming hometown paper, The Lovell Chronicle, about adjusting to life in New Orleans (which is the polar opposite of Wyoming!).

She's always loved romantic suspense, but didn't start her own until she got the idea for her first novel, Pig in a Park while watching Scarecrow and Mrs. King reruns. Her blend of romantic suspense and humor is, she believes, a natural outcome of growing up in a large family.

"Lots of love and laughter," she says, "but you're never quite sure you'll survive your siblings idea of what's fun."

Her seventh book, Out of Time, was released in 2006 in electronic and trade paperback by Hard Shell Word Factory and is an EPPIE 2007 winner.

Her eighth book, The Key, released in September, 2007 by LL Dreamspell.

Her first novel, Pig in a Park was the first electronic book to be nominated for Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice award and received a Dorothy Parker Award for excellence.

The Last Enemy, first book in the Lonesome Lawmen series, won the first ever Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice award for E-Books, awarded in November 2000 (for 1999 Releases).

Her second book in the series Byte Me, was a Reviewer's Top Pick for 2000 in the RunningRiver Reader and was also been nominated for the Best Ebook Reviewer's Choice Award from Romantic Times Magazine. It was also an EPPIE 2001 Finalist in the romantic suspense category.

Missing You, the last book in her Lonesome Lawmen series released in 2002 and won the RT Reviewer's Choice award for Best Small Press Romance. It is also available in ebook and trade paperback.

Do Wah Diddy Die, the book formerly known as I Love Luci - When I Don't Want to Kill Her, was also an EPPIE 2001 Finalist in the romantic suspense category. It's available from Hard Shell Word Factory.

Pauline received the eBook Excellence Award in December 2000, awarded to those who strive for excellence in the e-publishing industry, and an ePub Ambassador Award in 1999. She also won a Fire To Fly award in 1998 from Futures Magazine for an article she co-wrote on electronic publishing.

Pauline is a member of Sisters in Crime, The Final Twist, SINC-IC (the Sisters in Crime Internet Chapter), and SINC Guppies.

What others have to say about Do Wah Diddy Die:

"When it comes to creating stories with offbeat humor and outrageous situations, Pauline Baird Jones is in a class by herself. A most excellent experience!" Jill Smith, Romantic Times; 4 Stars.

"Once again, Pauline Jones has managed to write a book that rivals anything other comedy writers have put out there for the discerning reader. Ms. Jones' tongue-in-cheek writing style will appeal to anybody, with or without a sense of humor. I spent half my time roaring with laughter and the other half enthralled with the mystery of 'whodunit'. This book is a must read of the highest caliber for anyone who just loves a great book, a good laugh and a fantastic story." Ariana Overton for Midnight Scribe, Murder List, WordWeaving, Tracy's Book Reviews, ebookconnections.com and Sharpwriter

"I could hardly bear to put this book down for anything. I kept wading through dead bodies to discover the tie in and get this mystery all figured out. I look forward to more hilarious reading from Pauline Baird Jones." Five thumbs up from Kathy Boswell, Kathy's Faves and Raves

Pauline Baird Jones has definitely carved a niche for herself in the category of romantic comedy, with talent that rivals the best and a sense of humor that is sure to leave readers breathless with laughter. If you love romantic comedy and haven't had a chance to read DO WAH DIDDY . . . DIE, you don't know what you're missing. This one is a must read!
—Reviewer's Choice Award from Scribes World

"If you have ever read Pauline Jones' work, I won't need to say anything more than "she's raised the bar once again." Beyond good, excellent, and all the rest of my store of superlatives, DO WAH DIDDY…DIE had me recommending it to all my email friends before I had read more than ten pages. After reading it, I'm sure you will know (and plan to attend) the movie. The production of this delightful romantic suspense starts this summer." Four crescents from Patricia White, Crescent Blues

"I very much enjoyed Ms. Jones' blend of romance, suspense, and comedy. Her characters are very dimensional. The hit man still haunts me because of the way his depth is revealed as the story unfolds. Action and comedy are smoothly written, making it easy to watch it as a movie in your head. But, don't count on intermissions, you'll want to read it straight through." Midwest Book Review

"A highly suspenseful, should-be-a-movie, totally entertaining tale of derring-do, THE LAST ENEMY defies categorization--at least by me. All I can tell you is: I enjoyed every word and was sorry when I reached the end. If you really liked the movie, ROMANCING THE STONE, then you will absolutely love THE LAST ENEMY and be clamoring at Hollywood's gates to make this book into the next "really great movie." Very Highly Recommended, Under the Cover Reviews

"Pauline B. Jones is back with another terrific tale that will make readers want to savor each and every line. More suspenseful than her first book, THE LAST ENEMY still contains a large element of humor that really spices up this dynamite novel." 4 & 1/2 Stars from Romantic Times

"Jones pulls together many different elements and story lines in her skillfully written novel and combines elements of flowery romances, suspenseful thrillers, and hard-boiled mysteries to create an engaging, fast-paced story full of unexpected twists and turns." Booklist, Nov 15, 1999.

Book Two: Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Nominee for 2000

"Pauline Jones is an accomplished writer able to engage superbly crafted characters with plot-line surprises that play fair with both her story, her characters, and her readers. Also highly recommended is her earlier novels, The Last Enemy and The Spy Who Kissed Me." Midwest Book Review

"Ms. Jones makes a large splash with each new book and BYTE ME is no exception. The intricate plot and compelling characters make this a nail-biting read." Four and one-half stars and a December Top Pick, Romantic Times Magazine

"Ms. Jones does an incredible job of using words to paint the backdrop surrounding this lush tale of romance, suspense and intrigue. Jake is a strong, determined Marshal who kept the action at a max throughout the story. Phoebe is also headstrong, smart and sexy, as she provides a great partner for Jake.

Booklist

Out Of Time

2008-05-27T15:55:39Z

Paulinebairdjones:

What happens when a twenty-first century woman on a mission to change the past meets a thoroughly 1940s man trying to stay alive in the hellish skies over war-torn Europe?

Melanie “Mel” Morton is an adventure reporter, who lost her grandfather in World War II. With no family left, she’s all about doing her job and finishing her grandfather’s biography.

Enter Jack Hamilton, sexy octogenarian, genius/scientist and former WWII bomber pilot.

What he tells Mel sends her on her craziest adventure yet—straight into the past to save her grandfather’s life—and change Jack’s future, if she doesn't accidentally end it.

All Mel has to do is outmaneuver the entire German army--and not fall in love with Jack.

Unfortunately, eluding the German army is the easy part....

Eppie Winner, 2007

What others have to say about Out of Time:

"Jones is back and taking on new genres and challenges in this high-intensity time-traveling war thriller. Love can truly span generations, as these soul mates born out of time prove. Adding in the drama of being trapped behind enemy lines ratchets up the tension and thrill factor! " Four Stars! Romantic Times—Jill M. Smith

"Out of Time is a remarkable story that kept this reader glued to the pages. Mel is electrically charged as she steps into a time-travel that spins with excitement and thrills while trying to keep her heart at bay with Jack. They share a chemistry that is marvelously created. It is love at its finest as they try to sort out a past to produce a future for everyone. Ms. Jones originates a performance with her characters that puts the reader in the center of the stage. With the enemy beckoning to stop Mel at every turn, she pens a fabulous read that shouldn’t be missed as she captivates the audience with suspense, romance and just the right edge until the final conclusion. The reader is transported into yesteryear during a time of war where our heroes should never be forgotten in a war that costs so many their precious lives and loves, in a heart-felt story that spins with much creativity." Five hearts! The Romance Studio

"...the story is magical, romantic, and funny. It's a hoot to see Mel, a thoroughly 21st century woman, trying to cope with the culture, and the uncomfortable shoes, of wartime England. When she joins the crew in a mission to occupied France, the reader can imagine what it must have been like inside the bomber, trying to complete their mission under terrifying circumstances. In this homage to the Greatest Generation, Jones takes us on a wild and often poignant ride through time." Over My Dead Body Reviews

"Brilliant storytelling! Exceptionally and skillfully written! This award-winning author is once again on the leading edge of technology as she weaves together humor, suspense, and romance. Out of Time is a salute of respect and admiration to the brave men and women who fought in WWII. Pauline B. Jones’ finest book to date." Diana L. Driver, Author of Ninth Lord of the Night
"It's great fun to see Mel, a thoroughly 21st century woman, trying to cope with the culture, and the uncomfortable shoes, of wartime England. When she joins the crew in a mission to occupied France, the reader can imagine what it must have been like inside the bomber, trying to complete their mission under terrifying circumstances.

When Sara Donovan joins Project Enterprise she finds out that what doesn’t kill her makes her stronger…

An Air Force pilot – the best of the best to be assigned to this mission – Sara isn’t afraid to travel far beyond the Milky Way on an assignment that takes her into a galaxy torn apart by a long and bitter warfare between the Dusan and the Gadi.

After she’s shot down and manages to land safely on an inhospitable planet, Sara encounters Kiernan Fyn – a seriously hot alien with a few secrets of his own – he’s a member of a resistance group called the Ojemba, lead by the mysterious and ruthless Kalian. Together they must avoid capture, but can they avoid their growing attraction to each other?

A mysterious, hidden city on the planet brings Sara closer to the answers she seeks – about her baffling abilities and her mother’s past. She has no idea she’s being pulled into the same danger her mother fled – the key to a secret left behind by a lost civilization, the Garradians.

The Dusan and the Gadi want the key. So do the Ojemba. They think Sara has it. They are willing to do anything to get it.

Sara will have to do anything to stop them…

"The Key was good in every way a novel can be. It's an engrossing story with full character development and growth. There is an ultimate battle between good and evil and Ms. Baird Jones even makes the villain likable on some levels. For me, The Key is one of those rare books that strengthened my love of reading. Thanks for the story Pauline." Night Owl Romances Top Pick and Reviewer's Choice.

"Love Linnea Sinclair? Get a kick out of Susan Grant? Then you'll want to glom up on releases by Pauline Baird Jones. The Key isn't so much a sci-fi release as it is a dang good read, and this reviewer is anxious to read more of Baird Jones. Fun and fantastic at the same time, The Key is an intergalactic space adventure that will thrill readers to the very tips of their toes." Heartstrings Reviews

"For the SFR buff this is a must read. Don’t bother if you are looking for futuristic erotica. The characterization is good and the romance is compelling. There is plenty of sexual tension but little actual sex. There is adventure and suspense. Also, something I personally require, there is an HEA. If you like a few nanites and ray guns in your romance you should pick this one up." The Good, The Bad, The Unread reviews

"Action is the name of the game as a feisty and hard-hitting heroine rises to the challenge in this rousing space adventure. Not only is this a fast-paced tale, the rampaging deception and cultural clashes ensure this hero and heroine will need all their survival skills." 4 stars from Romantic Times

"Great plot! Superb workmanship on the characters! So sit back and take the ride of your life. This was by far the best Sci Fi novel in a long time. Pauline Baird Jones, a marvelous creator of some remarkable characters, put a new twist on a great Sci Fi story, The Key." Simegen Reviews

"There were many characters, good and bad, on all sides of the plot, with most of the characters filling important roles. Sara was a wonderful character, I could have seen her walk right out of the book...I loved the development of love between Sara and Fyn. Ms. Jones wrote a wonderful book. I will certainly put her on my to be read list." The Romance Studio

What others have to say about the book:

"Sinister and twisted individuals make this suspense thriller quite the dark and intense read. Jones cranks up the action and danger, as well as psychological suspense. Nail biting fun!" Jill Smith, Romantic Times Magazine

"I really enjoyed A Dangerous Dance...I found myself drawn into these complicated figures, who all seem to have an ulterior motive...I found the characters to be similar to a chess game, where you draw your opponent into a checkmate. This is a very interesting book that will keep you intrigued to the very end." Romance Reviews Today

A DANGEROUS DANCE is as dark and sinister as a French Quarter alley. Dorothy and Remy are a great team, intellectually and romantically. They realize both of their lives are in jeopardy as they get closer to the killer. This psycho-thriller is full of greed, corruption, danger, and surprising twists and turns. Each of the supporting characters are hiding hateful secrets. Be prepared -- no one is who you think they are! --America Online Romance Fiction Forum
