Published mystery authors learned all about the road from novel to screen at a special conference, November 3-5, 2006 at the Writers Guild in Hollywood. The weekend included a tour of Sony Pictures Studio, a seminar on how to pitch, a screening of "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" followed by a Q&A with two of the show's writer/producers, and panels of screenwriters, TV writers, entertainment agents, and TV and movie producers and development executives. For the climax, each attendee was scheduled for a five-minute pitch with a producer or development executive. Stay tuned for more details on this site and in the spring newsletter. And who knows? Maybe we'll be announcing a TV or movie deal!
