Susan asked I provide you a short overview of our process for adapting scripts to books. 

  

Our process starts with the adaptation of your script to a manuscript. The manuscript is then published as a book through our affiliate publishing company, Word First Publishing. Once the book is available for sale, it is then sold through our affiliate bookseller Barnes & Noble. The entire process from start to finish will take approximately 9-12 weeks.
