Creative Labs Replay: From Book to Screen

90-Minute Mentorship Replay On-Demand Access (24 hours)

Learn how a real working author takes a story from idea to page — and all the way to screen.

This Creative Lab replay breaks down how stories are actually developed, protected, and adapted in the real industry — from concept to manuscript to film collaboration.

Led by #1 New York Times bestselling author Angie Thomas (The Hate U Give), this session shows how a breakout story is built with intention, revised under pressure, and adapted without losing its core message.

Not an interview. Not a motivational talk.
A practical blueprint for how working writers navigate writing, revision, and adaptation in the real world.

After watching, you’ll understand how to:

• Develop a story idea into a character-driven, cinematic novel

• Write scenes that translate naturally from page to screen

• Stay grounded in your message through feedback and rejection

• Collaborate with filmmakers while protecting the heart of your story

This replay is for you if:

• You’re writing a novel, screenplay, or hybrid story with screen potential

• You want to understand how adaptation actually works — beyond theory

• You’re serious about your story becoming more than a draft

Not for:

• Casual readers or fans

• Anyone looking for quick writing prompts or surface-level advice

What’s included:

• Full 90-minute Creative Lab mentorship replay

• 24-hour on-demand access

• A practical framework for taking a story from idea to manuscript to screen-ready project

Led by: Angie Thomas, Author
Hosted by: Monique Shaw, former set PA & industry mentor

Why people buy this:

Because it shows how real stories survive revision, collaboration, and adaptation — without losing their voice.
