What does it take for a story to go from a blank page to a bookshelf and then onto the screen? Agents, publishing pros, and producers come together for an honest look at the modern path to publication and adaptation. From securing representation to navigating book-to-film opportunities, this panel explores how today's most exciting stories are discovered, developed, and brought to life across platforms. Kathleen Ortiz (KO Media Management), Holly Root (Root Literary), Matt Sugarman (Weintraub Tobin), and Max Siemers (Magic Hour Entertainment) discuss and answer questions about the process. Moderated by Nathan Bransford.
