I would like very much to have someone read it and let me know if it or parts of it could be made into a movie. It's a very humorous book that covers the years, 1938-1962. I would appreciate any help I can get. I have written and had published a biography of my brother and I growing up in Georgia as twins., hence the title, Growing Up As A Twin.

If I ever see my work published, I wouldn't let any movie studio near it with a stick. But that's just my personal I'm-a-grouchy-writer pov so stay 'way from my art. Ooo - but I wanted to say - because my friends and I have wondered - WHY hasn't anyone torn the film rights of Lloyd Alexander's Prydain Chronicles away from Disney and made the series into a huge cinematic blockbuster like LOTR? It would be absolutely wonderful if it were done right. Also, They Came to Bagdad by Agatha Christie - never been done - and its by far one of her most unique stories - if a little outdated now - but someone could easily update it. Its got everything: romance, intrigue, international spies, big brother, and murder. Good blog, sir. Good information. Oh and people begging for someone to look at your novel? I had the distinction of working with quite a few editors and authors here in Seattle and many of those authors got the promise of movie options when their book first came out, but nothing much has ever come of it. FYI. Who cares? Isn't it cool enough that you have a book published? As an amateur scribbler myself, selling the rights to something I've created would totally bother me anyway. They take it away from you and create their vision out of it - or else it just sits on a shelf for 20 years and no one can touch it. Either way, it would suck. It wouldn't be yours and they would most likely ruin it. Just sayin'. Damn there is a lot of weird self-promo going on in the comments.

I just published a novel based on this premise, called My Dear Watson, written in Holmes's own voice--and it has murder, secret identities, and the alluring daughter of Professor Moriarty--Holmes's nefarious nemesis. So many people have said it would make a great movie that I thought I should find out more about that. You suggest getting a Hollywood agent, but can you recommend a good agency or site with reputable agents? Should I send a copy of my book? Thanks for any information about the best way to proceed with my first steps. Write to marparbri@gmail.com. Thanks! What if Sherlock Holmes, the master of disguise, were really a woman?

My stories are all fact-based stories. I think thats why so many of my readers always question me about trying to make it visual. For the last two years I have been researching different websites to get some information on how that process work.
