Let’s Talk About… Adapting Work for Film and TV

Join Graeme Simsion and Sneha Lees for this panel discussion.

Often, when writers tell people they’re publishing a book or article, the first question is “who’ll play you in the movie?” (Even if it’s fiction!) The film and television industries, however, are fairly opaque to most writers. In this session, you’ll receive insight on options, adaptations and production companies, along with responses to the frequent question of whether to write your own screenplay or allow somebody else to change things.
