Screenplay into a Novel

5th December 2024

Dear Screenwriter,

From you ad I can tell that you’re looking for someone to turn your screenplay into a novel. It just so happens that I’ve done that but never been published. This makes me a bad candidate for this job but do you have any better candidates? I can show you the script I started with and the novel I ended with and we can talk about publishers.

Truth is, I’m willing to work on speculation but I need to see what I’m working with and if you want to get the novel published fast there are ways that you can do that but none are ideal. Still, an accomplish novelist shouldn’t be willing to do the work on speculation.

Anyway, as far as the Sci-Fi elements I got the Bank of America award for physics in high school and hold a BA in Psychology so I’m something of a geek. I’ve had a few short films produced and written a few short stories in addition to my novel but nothing that would make me as an author you should pay attention to.

Bottom line, if what you need is someone to write you’re film into a novel I can do that and I can show you the proof. If what you need is someone who can help you market your screenplay then that’s just not me.

I grant that I probably shouldn’t be writing to you because of how bad a fit for this job I am, but the truth is that you miss every shot you don’t take.

Kind regards,



Richard Leland Neal
