Hello! I need a talented screenwriter to turn my memoir into a screenplay. The book is a connecting thread of memories, emotions, and life experiences capturing reader's imaginations and I want to translate this into a gripping, cinematic experience. Here are what I'm looking for: - I want as many scenes and dialogues from the book included in the screenplay. I believe this would keep the authenticity of the original work. - The memoir consists of 100-200 pages, ample material for you to sort through, choose, and arrange accordingly. - While prioritizing book content, you should also be creative in how those memories translate to visual storytelling. What skills should you possess? - Proven experience in screenwriting, particularly with memoirs or biographies. - Understanding of cinematic storytelling. - Ability to interpret and translate written content into visual script. - Strong communication skills to maintain transparency. Evoke the essence of my memoir visually! Let's bring this book to the big screen together.

Hi Wayne, It’s not every day I come across a story like yours: one that instantly makes my heart flutter with emotion and mind run rampant with creative ideas. Your story is the ultimate hero's journey, featuring a resilient individual (you!) who overcomes challenges to emerge stronger and more committed to the greater good. You already have a gripping story and don’t need me to tell you that. What I can offer is strong experience adapting memoirs into screenplays, a dedication you’d likely find unmatched by other applicants, and a collaboration that would stay true to the heart of your story. Screenwriting has been my passion for many years, with other key roles in over 250 projects in my portfolio. ▪️ 15+ yrs writing & producing screenplays ▪️ Clients include Netflix, Disney, HBO, and more ▪️ 50+ IMDB credits, including award-winning projects The most rewarding projects for me involve transforming stories that have inherent depth and a social message. Previous work on adaptations include a Civil War film about the first Black soldiers in combat and a film about a nun who established a healthcare system in Ireland. I am also nearing completion adapting a memoir about a soldier struggling with PTSD post-Gulf War. I love what I read in your introduction, would love to read more, and would certainly love to bring magic to the screenplay for ‘Pugsley Stands.’ You're welcome to message me to schedule a chat anytime. Let the story begin. God Bless, Stacey

I have a degree in screenwriting from Emerson College and have had extensive experience writing coverage and giving notes for feature-length screenplays, tv pilots, and plays. I really enjoy collaborating with others on making a project the best it can be. I also have, on multiple occasions, worked on adapting a novel into a screenplay or play, so I understand how to bring the story to life in a different medium than its original incarnation. I also have worked in internships that require reading scripts and have seen what producers look for when developing a screenplay and story. My work has placed in the Austin Film Festival, the Ivy Film festival, the New York Short Film and Screenplay Competition, and the Screencraft Short Screenplay Contest. I also have two short films that went into production in mid-August and am working on more. I would love to discuss the project more to see if this would be a good fit and am willing to send over some samples if interested; I hope to hear from you soon!
