"Having been encouraged by a literary agent to start writing screenplays, I was just starting to look for an accessible online resource when I was sent details of the brand-new Book to Film Adaptation module on the Page Turner Awards website. Startled by the timing, I seized the opportunity, purchased the recordings, and went through all five days of the coaching in my own time.
Turns out it was just what I needed. Paula (the course tutor) not only outlines the big differences between novel writing and screenplay writing, she also provides a very clear analysis of how to create and format a screenplay, and what screenplay writing software options are out there - the pros and cons of each.
If you're looking for a practical introduction to screenplay writing, I highly recommend this book adaptation online course. Paula is a very down-to-earth, no-nonsense guide. She covers all the techniques we need to master without ever being intimidatingly technical." Dr Mark Stibbe, award-winning author.
