Janice Jones, published author, screenwriter

Having two books published was scary, but turning them into a t.v. series is even scarier. I just submitted my first written pitch a couple of weeks ago. I'm anxious about the feedback, but at the very least, I'll get some tips on how to improve my writing. Onward and upward! Good luck everyone!

Katherine Blessan

All the best with the process. Are you writing the TV series yourself or trying to find someone else to do it for you?

David C. Velasco

I wish you great success Janice! You'll find much encouragement here.

Karen "Kay" Ross

@Bernie Rosa Thanks! Good Luck to you too!

I've been doing the same with my own novel. Quite a process though! It started off as a feature and now a few years later it's morphing into a TV drama.

Best wishes with that! I’m writing a series as well. Originally it was a feature and it’s been a (good) challenge. Keep on it. And onward!
