Do you think one of your books would be perfect for film or as a TV-series?

What are directors and producers looking for? How do you craft your story in such a way as to make them see it working in those mediums? Learn how the industry works and how to pitch it to producers and directors. 

Join award-winning screenwriter Lindsay Sedgwick and learn, in practical terms, how to write a short treatment, and consider the difficult decisions that come in adaptation. Take a view of the market from the creator’s point of view.
