Screenplay to Novel is a podcast where Mark Reynolds and Tom Swain discuss converting a screenplay into a book. There are more steps than you think, and all of them are laid out plainly. Also, follow along as Mark actually goes through this process using one of his original screenplays called "Hit Escape", a time-bending story about memory, consequence, and the fragile line between who we were and who we are. Both intimate and speculative, it explores regret, second chances, and the day that refuses to stay in the past.
