Every novelist wants to see their writing on the silver screen. Too easy. Step one, convert your book into a screenplay… Today’s guest is James Fox. He’s been in the film industry for over 22 years and has worked just about every role you can imagine in the industry. We’ll discuss his unique entry point into novel writing. He wrote his first book, Sol Saga: Revolution after pitching the same series as a screenplay.
So what’s the difference between building a script and world for the screen vs the page? Join us as we dig into the details of screenwriting, writing characters, and even a little bit about pitching a show or movie.
In Part Two, We Discuss:
- Character-driven vs plot-driven narratives
- Why writing relatable characters bring audiences in and builds rapport
- Character motivation
- Character internalizations on the screen vs the page
- Escapism as an author and a reader
- Writing plots and character arcs that satisfy readers
- Pitch decks and a few basic steps for writers interested in starting screenplays
