If you have a PUBLISHED NOVEL that would make an audience-worthy movie, please email a short synopsis (75-100 words).

My mom wrote a 20-page reader about St. Therese geared toward 2nd-graders, I don't remember how many words it is but it's pretty short. Anyway, she sent it to two publishers. One even indicated that if she had sent it sooner they might have published it, but that they already had other readers for that grade level.

She is still going to try other publishers, but she also wanted to know if she could self-publish, put it on the internet, have someone convert it into an... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (clonewarseu) http://screenplaycommessageboard.yuku.com/topic/2021 Sat, 23 Aug 2003 19:36:41 GMT http://screenplaycommessageboard.yuku.com/topic/2026/t/Getting-started.html Thanks,

Does anyone have any excellent examples of book proposals that were well received? Would you be willing to email it to me? (ASAP) jkperry91165@hotmail.com

Any words of wisdom in regards to book proposals?

Are there any writers with representation that would be willing to discuss off board a few questions about the agent/publisher process?

My second-term Spanish teacher was young, cool, and ghetto. The most memorable thing I remember him telling us was, I just be trippin, my mad son homies yo. We smiled, nodded, and silently wondered when this nightmare would end.
Hes from Harlem, a student explained, quelling our fears of him being just another ghetto-wannabe from the upper east side. But the fact that he was also an English teacher made the situation all the more frightening.

My question is How do you write a novel? With a screenplay all you have to do is draw the blueprints per say. But in a book you have to descrbe settings in enough detail for the reader to understand, describe the thoughts of the characters as well as their dialogue and find a way to captivate the readers... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Darth Rebelo) http://screenplaycommessageboard.yuku.com/topic/2025 Tue, 03 Dec 2002 12:25:43 GMT http://screenplaycommessageboard.yuku.com/topic/2027/t/Your-opinion-of-First-Person-.html
The rich texture of the story can be found in the musings of the main character rather than in the events of the story. And 'subtle' action can be set up to have larger impact.

Anybody else finding success with this? ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Robbnn) http://screenplaycommessageboard.yuku.com/topic/2027 Thu, 12 Sep 2002 12:40:44 GMT http://screenplaycommessageboard.yuku.com/topic/2029/t/Have-movies-changed-novels-.html

One novel, three Books within the novel (you know, Book 1, Book 2, Book 3, not a series). This isn't a three act structure, though. Each book has a different dramatic question and the dq is resolved within each book, yet the main character and overarching theme hangs in there through the three books.
