Hello! My name is Bradley Joseph Kim, and I self-published a novel last year--Jeneria: The White Citadel. It is the first novel in a trilogy, and I just finished the first draft of the second novel. I would like it to be converted into a screenplay so that it can eventually be adapted to the big-screen.

I am an experienced screenwriter who has written several stellar-reviewed scripts on this site. Furthermore I have won a number of screenwriting/script contests here and have successfully bid and been awarded several other screenwriting projects which I have completed (some are ongoing long-term projects). Please review my profile to confirm my claims: https://www.freelancer.com/u/bakiwanuka.html (N.B. The "Deleted Project #5030399" was completed to the employer's satisfaction as corroborated by the stellar review. The employer deleted the name of the project because they wished all data about the project confidential. This was an NDA project). On a final note I use Final Draft. Cheers, Ba

Hi Bradley, Thank you for inviting me to your project, and congratulations for finishing the first draft of your second novel. As a professional, I take pride in my work, delivering only high quality screenwriting service to my employers, hence hopefully you'll understand the reason for my price. As far as your work is concerned, should you wish to proceed, it will take me a week or two to go through your novel, after which I will summarize the key story events to be incorporated into the screenplay. Also, this process will enable me to plan out the screenplay plot points such as inciting incident, the hook, the midpoint, the second culmination point and of course, the climax of the story. All this will happen with your consent of the summary of course. After you approve the summary, then I will proceed with the screenwriting process. The whole duration of this work will not exceed two months from the day of hiring. I am willing to sign a ghostwriting contract as I have a template ready. I charge 50% upon hiring and the other half upon completion and delivery of work. I look forward to working with you. :-)

Hi Bradley, thanks for your invitation to bid. I'm very interested in taking the project on, and have experience in adapting novels to screenplays and vice versa. It would be wonderful to know a little more about the book. And I'd be very happy to write a scene on-spec, if you'd like to get a feel for what I can offer. In the meantime, please take a look at my profile for more about me. You'll also find a snippet from one of my own screenplays in my portfolio. If you'd like to know anything more, please don't hesitate to ask. Many thanks.

In using one word to describe myself it would be self-discipline. As a Screenwriter I truly understand the hard work and effort that goes into crafting Screenplay's. More importantly the sacrifices that one has to make in order to sit down and write. Writing is truly very hard work and a lot of time is expanded on your writing each day in order to become better at what you do. Oftentimes friends and family members aren't as appreciative of this and for a lot of writers it leads to a sort of giving up or fear of failure. As for myself I know what it takes to sit down and write a screenplay from both choice and responsibility. One of the things that allows me to do this is having passion for the work that I do. Writing screenplay's is my life and it's all that I ever wanted to do, it's one of the greatest joy's in the world that brings me complete satisfaction. What sets me apart from other writers is determination and persistence. I expect to reach the goals that I set out for myself and to be successful as a writer. I'm very self-determined and motivated and I always put forth my best effort in all that I do. I also set goals for myself as a writer working from an extensive outline so that I know point for point where I am in my story. I want to thank you for the opportunity if offered this position and I can certainly guarantee excellent quality in the work that I do.

I am a professional writer with native English fluency. Although I am currently based in the Dominican Republic, I was born, raised, and educated in the United States. I studied Creative Writing, Theatre and Screenwriting in New York. I complete my projects quickly, efficiently and to the highest standards of professionalism and quality. Its important to note that many Freelancers write or edit projects in languages that aren't their native tongues. I have personally had to redo work for employers that were done by such Freelancers. I suggest you save yourself the frustration and money and go with a Freelancer that can provide you with a quality end-product in the first place. Best Regards, Mechi

Dear Bradley, I was intrigued to read your brief as I too self publish, though I mainly do comics. I have adapted literary works into comic format before and have experience with converting prose into script format. I am unfamiliar with your work but I am an avid reader and would love to help you in this task. Feel free to get in touch if you are interested. Cheers Richard Worth

I'm excited for this project as it fits perfectly with how I read. Nowadays whenever I read fiction, my mind attempts to see how it can be turned into a screenplay. This would be an opportunity to do just that, with something more mature. I co-adapted the screenplay for the children's book, MauMau at the Rainbow Bridge before, so I'm not entirely new the process.

No one has my experience. Sorry, just being honest and brave. I have experience with both novels and screenplays spanning over a decade. I will gladly send letters of recommendations I have from one Oscar nominated producer and one legendary screenwriter who launched James Dean's career. You can read more at www.ercanbas.com. Subsequently, I do have some clips for your viewing pleasure. Regardless of whether I am selected or not, I will offer some advice on how to choose someone: 1. Make sure they have experience in both novel writing and screenwriting. 2. Quiz them about "Hero's Journey." If they have no idea what that is, congratulations, your list just got smaller. 3. When they discuss the novel with you, there will be some scenes that will be cut from the screenplay for the sake of time. Sadly, that is why most adaptations suck! Make sure the most important ones are cut, and fight to the death for the scenes you demand to keep there. 4. Adaptation is no easy progress and I know this is your baby and it has to be perfect. But let the writer do is job and try to understand the angle before trashing something that was worked on for months possibly :) 5. Writing the screenplay is the last thing that is done. You should have to sign-off on plot outlines, themes,etc. But you already know this as a writer. I know I'm a little costly but I also know what I can bring to you. And if you're serious about adaptation, I wouldn't try to go the cheap route.I wish you the best of luck

I have worked in film for several years as a production sound mixer (including having been the key sound department on 15 feature films of varying sizes and budgets) and as a result have been able to study first-hand what might make one film more successful or appealing than another. Additionally, I have a handful of my own scripts in various stages of production and am confident that I can help you succeed in your goal of seeing your novel on screen.
