Earlier this evening I was part of the Dead Robots’ Society roundtable discussion on adapting prose to the screen. Along with me were top-tier storytellers Matt Wallace and Patrick McLean.
Questions came both from the terrific hosts (PG Holyfield, Justin Macumber, Terry Mixon, and Ryan Stevenson) as well as the audience questions I had mentioned before.
The interview ranges from lessons learned in the world of commercials and advertising, the challenges in switching from prose to screenwriting, and what it takes to preserve a good story from the page to the screen.
You get a chance to get to know the hosts in the beginning, the actual interview begins around 15:20 in. You get to hear me at my most silly, so take it while you can get it.

TOMORROW EVENING, I will be part of a Dead Robot Society roundtable interview with Matt Wallace (Varient Frequencies) and Patrick McLean (How to Succeed in Evil).
Esteemed author P.G. Holyfield (Murder at Avedon Hill) will be hosting the interview, which I firmly believe will descend into “shindig” and then devolve swiftly into “mob rule.” You can’t get three guys like ourselves in the same podcast and expect anything else.
And to add to the chaos: the clever Mr. Holyfield is opening up the forum. Email him with your questions, and they might get asked during the roundtable.
Remember, you’ve got four of the powerhouse podcast storytellers in the same room, ready to pick apart story theory and practice for your edification. This is more than just submitting a question: you’re getting second, third, and fourth opinions from people with a Ph.d. in “mind-exploding.”
Submit your questions here.
(I feel very promo-y today – I should be writing some copy.)
