As a newbie, unsure if this will make the cut, but have to try. First off, I haven't read everything Mr. King has written, but I do love The Running Man (yes, I saw the movie first, loved that as well & yes, I am an Arnold fan). I am a huge fan of Mr. King's prolific writing; I guess the beauty of dedicating one's life to an his/her artistic purpose. I'd love to do that, but my going is slow for a variety of reasons. Working at a public library in Cleveland, I see Mr. King's new releases arrive all the time, and know the public absolutely love Stephen King (books & movies) because I have ordered and reordered anything I could via Ingram & Midwest tapes. Stephen King is a guaranteed circulation. Anyways, I am shooting big with this post because my motive for joining this forum is to seek advice from Mr. King and the wisdom of those that have written in this forum. I am a poet that self-publishes creative crap (me being humble). Question: how would one go about getting their book made into a movie? Any steps to take? Can I mail a book? Do I need to transcribe my poetry to movie script writing (like for Amazon)? Basically where to start. A side note: I love how Mr. King constantly has cameos in movies based on his books; so cool to see. Thank you all so much for your time. I think I may go watch some Murder, She Wrote Season 5 (my 11 year old got my wife and I hooked.)
