TV & MOVIE NEWS: I Was a Teenage Popsicle
Bev Katz Rosenbaum has announced that her young adult book, I Was a Teenage
Popsicle, has been optioned for film and TV. (The plan is to
produce it as a film then spin it into a series.)
For any writers reading (and I know there are lots of you), this came about as the result of Bev sending a copy of her book to the production company after watching one of their shows and realizing the tone was similar to her book!
Bev's advice is to take note of which shows and indie movies are similar to your books
and send the producers (you can almost always find the production
companies' websites on the net) a copy of your book along with any endorsements/reviews (good ones would probably be best...).
Great advice and good luck, Bev!

Yay, Bev! This is such great news and so well-deserved. I hope they keep the same cover for the film poster--I've always thought it was lovely!
