Hi Writers,
I’m not an author of children’s books, but I am a writer of screenplays and teleplays.
I recently joined JacketFlap, because I’m in search of a children’s book author to write a novel from a screenplay I wrote. I’m surely not going to exclude newbies with great enthusiasm, but I would prefer a seasoned writer for this project.
My screenplay is entitled, “CHARLIE AND THE CHAMP” and I truly believe it will make an extraordinary children’s book. I’m not really sure what category it would fall under. Maybe, preteens and young teens or maybe even YA.
CHARLIE AND THE CHAMP is a mythical, adventurous tale about the friendship and unbreakable bond of an orphan boy named Charlie, and Vermont’s Lake Champlain legendary sea monster, Champ. It also has some obstacles and villains that they have to endure and overcome together.
What makes this fictional tale quite unique is that it’s actually based partly on a true story. This story takes place in the year of 1964 at the Saint Joseph’s Orphanage that was located on Lake Champlain’s shoreline in Burlington, Vermont. Some of the script’s content is based on my own experiences and some true events that occurred there while I was a young boy at that orphanage. You see -- I am Charlie in this story.
At this time, I really can’t afford to be paying a writer, so what I am looking for is a writer that would be willing to write this story with a 50/50 collaboration on this project with the understanding that we equally share all of its rewards. I strongly believe if this is written as a children’s book, it will have a very good chance of getting adapted into a movie, something on the same lines as a Disney family film. This could also be made as an animated film.
If this is something that intrigues you, I could forward you some pages of the screenplay for your viewing in an email attachment. If you would also like to know more about Champ, just google “Lake Champlain’s Champ.”
I think you’ll find he’s very popular and quite legendary, which will only help in the success of this book.
