Guest Post: How a Book Really Becomes a Movie - Writer Beware(R)

Read it. It's important information.

Today's trip into the Catosphere took Panzer to the Writer Beware(R) site. There our traveling, inquisitive kitty found a post about the Book-to-Movie scams going around.

 

Before Jeanne Vellette Bowerman's guest post, Victoria Strauss gives an introduction about the current prevalence of these scams. Immediately after the introduction, Jeanne Vellette Bowerman begins with a list of things authors don't need to do or buy to get their books considered to be made into a movie.  These all involve money going from the author to the scammers. There follows an explanation of the Books-to-Movie parts. The post includes links to more information.

 

Panzer says, "This little kitty thinks this should be required reading for every author."

 

Note: This is a long post because it covers so much information. You'll need to decide what to bring to snack on while you read.
