Writers Network, January 7 – Screenplay Adaptation

Writers Network Meeting
January 7, 2022

10 – 11 a.m. via Zoom (open for chat 30 minutes before meeting)

 

Sarah Armstrong-Garner

Author and Screenwriter

The Road to Adapting a Novel to a Screenplay

Sarah will tell us about tips and tricks for a successful adaptation and how to pitch to networks. She will cover the following topics:

  • Screenwriting 101
  • Examining a story to discover what format it fits into (Feature or TV)
  • Finding the heart of the story and fitting it into a format
  • How to research production companies
  • The art of pitching

Sarah Armstrong-Garner was raised in a small California Gold Rush town, surrounded by ghost stories and superstitions that greatly inspire her writing style – usually set in fantasy and horror. Her training consists of the Feature Film Program at Brooks Institute, Screenwriting U Pro Series, and Roadmap Writers’ Career Writer Program. Her recent 1-hour fantasy drama pilot, The Soul of a Witch, is in the top 6% on Coverfly (www.coverfly.com), and received a “Recommend” through Roadmap Writers’ consultation program (www.roadmapwriters.com). Sarah is also the YA fantasy author of two books, Sinking and Drifting.
