Hello Authors and Writers and Storytellers!
Here are the details on the ADAPTATION Workshop I'm offering:
SATURDAY June 28th 2025
10 am Pacific Time
90 minutes of instruction
On Zoom. (you don't need to be on camera if you don't want)
In this workshop/class I teach how to take a novel, extract the story to it's essence, then build it up to a movie using scenes and dialogue from the book.
We go step by step from learning how to write the story's log line, to mapping out the movie's structure to the conclusion of your screenplay's adventure.
I use a Power Point presentation to teach because the first lesson of screenwriting is that people love to be visually entertained! With me talking in the top corner, we go through the slides that teach you the steps to writing a movie from a book. It's easier than you think. You already have the story, you just need to fit it into movie format.
At the end, there'll be time for questions.
The cost is $40 (when I teach this for writing groups it's $150) and I guarantee you'll get $40 worth of information you can use. You can pay me on Paypal using kimhornsby@yahoo.com or Venmo kim6060.
After the class, I refer students to a craft book I wrote on the adaptation.
Note: I will be mentoring writers at a Greek Writing Retreat in September and if you are an author wanting to work with me in Greece to write a screenplay, this class is the first step. Once you take the class, you will be qualified to participate in the Greek retreat and work with me 1:1 on your very own screenplay!
