Screenplays indicate solely what the audience is to see or hear on screen. Film novels are short, and take about as long to read as a feature film takes to watch. The description, dialogue, and narration of a film novel can simply be lifted out and used as the description, dialogue, and voice-over narration for a script. \u003cbr\u003eThe author has devised a fifteen week program starting from a one-sentence pitch to the novel itself, which includes filming a scene from your script\/novel. He grounds the discussion of early film novels, like \u003ci\u003eThe Maltese Falcon, Of Mice and Men\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Misfits\u003c\/i\u003e, to provide historical and theoretical background while detailing the practical, sequential approach for completing a short novel and script.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dennis J.
