Adapt Screenplay into Fiction Novel

Hey All, I recently dug out a screenplay I wrote about 6 years ago that I'd like to see turned into a full fiction novel. The story is about three best friends that quit college and leave home after receiving approval to try and break a Guinness World Record by sailing around North America and setting the fastest time ever recorded. For the first time, the Ice Caps in the Northwest Passage have melted just enough to open a new route through the Arctic that's never before been possible to sailors. This is a story of survival, friendship, life and death. The screenplay is about 60 some pages finished. I can provide bullet points for where the plot is going and how to end the story. I need an experienced writer for this project because I'm not very familiar with writing books and would love to see this come to fruition. That said, this is a hobby project and I don't have a big budget for something like this so please keep that in mind. I do have other projects like this so the winning bidder will likely get a shot at more projects to come. Thanks! Joe

Hello, Joe! I'm a professional writer from the U.K., with over three years' experience. You may recall that I've bid on a couple of your previous fiction projects. I have written a range of fiction in various genres and I've also penned stage, screen and radio plays. Therefore, the screenplay is a format I'm very comfortable with. In addition, I've transformed a screenplay into a novel for a client here on Freelancer (please see my reviews) and am currently engaged in another screenplay to short story conversion. Please see PM for a sample of my work. Thanks!

Hi, I would be honored to take on this task. I am a screen writer, and I have had to adapt novels to screenplays before; I believe that I can also do the reverse which is convert your screen play into the greatest fiction novel. I hope that you will respond favorably to my bid. Best regards

Hi there - I put an amount into the bid box because I believe we have to, however, this is a job I am willing to do for free, with the agreement that if it is sold, I would receive a small percentage from the actual sale of the publication. For you this is a win win situation as you can see the work up front, have input into it and if the end result is not to your satisfaction, then you have lost nothing. I am an avid writer who has one novel (teen genre) being looked at by a publishing house here in Canada, I have another children's picture book that is also being shopped to a few American publishing houses. I am easy to work with and would consider this a collaboration, as I would very much want to hear your thoughts on a chapter by chapter basis. I also read, and critique, film scripts and films for a local film festival here in Toronto and am very familiar with the industry and how to build a story around a script. (I'm an actor here as well) I would love the opportunity to work on this project with you, but good luck regardless of what you decide!! Take care!

I write fast and often finish first drafts in less than two months. I am flexible in terms of working styles and will adjust to your desired level of involvement. That could range from disappearing for a few weeks and then reappearing with a draft, or it could include regular updates and lots of conversations about the task at hand.

Hello I go by Ayza and I would be very valuable asset to you on this project. I'm interested in making sure your vision comes to pass as you see it. I'm available by email and facebook everyday and can provide you with updates at your discretion. I've written some dramatic works for personal youth which involve many of the same themes such as death and friendship. I think your idea is an excellent one and I would love to help

I am a skilled writer when it comes to taking a script and making it into a book. I worked for many years with a script that just never came to be until it became a story. I'm a fast and efficient writer that knows how to transform a script into a full length book.
