Description of talk:

You know your book will make a good movie. You dream of Emmys. Oscars. People’s Choice Awards. Of binge-watching your story on Netflix, Disney, Prime. Heck, you even daydream of walking red carpets to accept awards. News flash: It doesn’t have to remain a dream. Our very special guest, award-winning writer/producer,  Dete Meserve believes the key to success is to write your own screenplay from your own book ­––and she’s going to show you how it’s done. Learn how to bring your book-to-screen dreams to life.

All registrants who attend this Writing Lab in person will receive one of Dete Meserve's books free!
