From Book to Big Screen: A Live Conversation with Angie Thomas

As part of our Book to Screen Strategy Lab, we’re talking with #1 New York Times bestselling author and producer Angie Thomas, whose novels The Hate U Give and On the Come Up became major motion pictures—one produced by Fox, the other with Angie at the table as producer.

We’ll walk through the real decisions, power dynamics, and creative shifts involved in turning a book into a film. This isn’t a highlight reel—it’s a behind-the-scenes look at how stories get made and what it takes to protect your voice along the way.
