How do you adapt a novel into a screenplay? Award-winning, bestselling author Mathew Tekulsky joins me to talk through the choices he makes when bringing his own fiction to the screen.
Mathew wrote his novels before adapting them, but a finished book is only the starting point. He describes how he finds scenes to dramatize, why he removed a character from the screenplay of Saving Annie, and how he created new action in a scene when a short story gave him the seed of a film.
We also discuss keeping screenplay description lean, leaving room for actors, and studying movies with a writer's eye.
