The Martian and 6 More Movies That Began as Self-Published Books - People

Self-published to movies. Who knew?

Panzer made a quick trip into the Catosphere today. Our kitty boy was greeted by sounds of cheering and shouting and ahhhs. Following all the noise took him to the People site. There he found a post by Drew Mackie about self-published (indie published) books that have made it big as movies.

According to Mackie there have been seven highly successful self-published books in this category. For example the newest one is The Martian and before that we have Legally Blonde and Still Alice. Mackie includes four more books and all include quotes from the authors about why they went the self-publishing route and/or movie trailers.

Panzer says, "Hmmm ... I have a couple of books that would make good movies."

Note: Bring a cup of tea and a bag of popcorn for the movie trailers.
