Hey everyone, Just curious how many of you have revised your scripts into another format like a book or comic book. Partly I’m wondering because I did both. I started by writing a TV pilot and turned it into a book which now has two sequels. Similarly, I wrote the first season of a web series and decided to turn it into a comic book series. So how many of you have done something like this?

I haven't turned a script into a book or comic book, Andrew Heard, but I've thought about turning a script into a graphic novel, and I might turn some short scripts into audio dramas.

I've turned my books into scripts and scripts into books. Not much of an artist so comics are out.

I find it hard enough just to turn my screenplay into a script.

I believe ever story has an ultimate form. Story that is a great novel will not be a great film with considerable change. A great film will not make a great stage play.
We can always do an adaption. But this is taking something as a source and making something new. I think in film terms. I don’t have ideas that would easily be anything else.

Turned my first script into a novella and my second into a full novel because I couldn't see a way forward with my specs and thought it would be easier to go the self published route. It was a lot of work (and distraction) only to enter an even more competitive field.
Looked into turning scripts into comic books and the cost of a good artist seems at odds with making any kind of returns.

Currently writing my first book based on one of my feature scripts, and already figuring out I should've done this first because I'm definitely generating ideas that will improve my script.

Dan MaxXx Well, I've seen interviews in the past of people who wrote screenplays, and couldn't get any studio to read the screenplay. Then they turned it into a book and put it out there, gained something of an audience for it and suddenly the same studios who rejected the script, were looking to buy the book rights. And when they did that, he handed them his script version for the adaptation.
