I am currently publishing my debut 190,000 word fictional novel that transpired from my blockbuster film idea :-) Great advice especially in terms of retaining your rights but I am determined to see my film at the cinema still xx

I found this fascinating advice, Beth. I have never considered screenwriting, perhaps I'll stick to story writing! Thank you, Giddy

I used to write screenplays before I switched to books, but still the same problems, thruline entertainment still rejects me.

Beth makes a whole lot of sense and I am glad that I took the time to listen to what she had to say.
