I wrote a book. "JAY JAX 1936". Everyone that has read it, LOVED it. Many people said that it would make a good movie. This is my first book, so I have no clue about movies or screenwriting. So I figured that I would go online to see if I could make something happen. The story is a San Francisco Private investigator. Three main characters are Det. Sgt Mike Morris S.F.P.D, Anthony (Tony) Mattola, and Jay Jax. three friends from THE GREAT WAR. 75% takes place on a train. From S.F., San Diego, New Orleans, Pensacola Fl. Wash.D.C. ending up in N.Y.C. You can check out the book at [login to view URL] I started on my second book. A Sequel, Jay Jax 1918. I just exloring my options. I need a Screeplay written

If you have no connections to the film industry it's best for your script play to have a hook and a bankable element.

I really like your project. I would really like to make your book into a screenplay. Please note I would like to be credited as a co-writer after yourself. I studied a Bachelor of Film and Digital Media. I have made international award winning short films. I want to be the best at what I love doing which is storytelling. My proposal for how I would like to work is 1. Read your book 3 times. 1st time just noting the main conflicts of the story. 2 time for the characters only 3rd for the structure working put what is the best structure what needs to be reinvented. Then I'd submit to you my proposal for the screenplay. Pretty much telling you what the blueprint for the script is. You offer me feedback with notes on what you like and what you don't like. I write you a first draft. at 14 days You submit notes and feedback. I submit a second draft based on your feedback and notes. at 16 days I submit a final 3rd edit based on your feedback and edits at 20 days You take the script as 3rd draft and may make any necessary changes you feel. I liked most the fact that you believe in your work. Secondly I really was excited that the action occurred mostly on a train. Thirdly you seem to have a solid parameters in your story based on your outline which will make writing an adaption easy. I feel if you are looking for an up and coming screenwriter you should choose me. My strongest strengths are structure and flow. I'm ruthless when it comes to editing. My goal is to make a screenplay that's entertaining and would be easy picked up and shot. My web series Henry Haus is a comedy drama which is on YouTube please give it a look. If you think I'm the right fit and that we would work well together let me know. Kind regards, James

Screenwriting is an easy task for me. My father was a producer and I used to go through most of his scripts/story ideas with him. I've got atleast 5 years of experience in areas like this.
