Screenwriting
Did you ever think your book – fiction or non-fiction – could be adapted for a movie? Now you and Carl Guerra can do it for you. He will read your book and give you feedback as to its viability as a screenplay. If he thinks you have good content, he will develop the screenplay for you. He works on an upfront fee (paid in stages) and a percentage of the money received when the story is sold plus a percentage of the movie rights. There is no charge for Carl to read and evaluate your content. He prefers to work with a finished book, but will read a pre-publication manuscript. Send a copy of your book with a cover letter of introducit4on (including your APSS membership number) to Carl Guerra, 87 Clinic Drive, Unit 33, New Britain CT 06051. Carl’s phone number is (860) 751-2157 and his email is carlguerra97@yahoo.com

“The APSS webinar was great. I took notes, and have to type them up. There were so many great ideas. I wrote and published my book, but never learned to market it. Thanks so much.”
