ABOUT THIS SESSION

Peter Miller breaks down how novels are evaluated for film adaptation and what agents and producers actually look for. He explains why marketability, cinematic potential, and visual storytelling matter, and why established or globally known authors often have more leverage over film rights than emerging writers.
