FAQ
What do you need before starting?
Please provide your manuscript or relevant excerpt, its approximate length, genre, preferred format, and any adaptation preferences. For larger projects, we'll agree on the scope before ordering.
Will you preserve my original story?
My goal is to preserve the heart of your story, its central characters, themes, and creative vision while making appropriate changes for visual storytelling.
Can you adapt any genre?
I can consider drama, romance, thriller, mystery, horror, comedy, fantasy, and other genres, depending on the project requirements.
Will the screenplay be professionally formatted?
Yes. The agreed screenplay deliverable will use standard screenplay conventions, including scene headings, action lines, character cues, and dialogue.
Will everything from my book appear in the screenplay?
Not necessarily. Screenplays have different pacing and length requirements from novels. Some scenes or subplots may need to be condensed, combined, or restructured.
Can you adapt a book into a TV series or feature film?
Yes, subject to the selected package and agreed scope. A full series may require a separate development plan and custom offer.
Do I need to own the rights to the book?
You must own the necessary rights or have permission to authorize the adaptation. Please confirm this before the project begins.
Can I request revisions?
Yes. Each package includes the stated number of revisions. Revisions cover adjustments within the original agreed scope; substantial story changes or additional pages may require a custom offer.
