Firstly, congratulations!!!! Secondly, to say I am happy about this amazing news in an understatement. The Blood Like Duology is hands down on of my favorite stories of all time. I had been hoping to hear this news since I picked up book 1. I have my fingers crossed that the option turns into an actual adaptation, be it a TV show (which I am kind of hoping for more because we get more of the story that way lol) or movies. Congrats again Liselle I am so happy for you!
Congratualations! I love the Blood Like duology and if it ever was made into a movie or tv show I would be runninnnggg to catch it :D I read both from the library and am looking for the perfect hardcovers for my collection
omg Liselle! All the congratulations in the world 🎉 This brought such a huge smile on my face. I have a super hard time picturing 99% of my high fantasy works as TV shows or movies lol, but it is still fun to hear what your agent asked the company and sjsksjwnwkks how cool with it being Black-owned and Canadian. Any single one of your works would be truly a wonder on screen so, so amazing that this step has happened! Just ahhhhhh so many congrats 💜
Thank you so much!!! And honestly I also am not a person that really knows how to picture my stuff on screen 😅 but I loved to hear how someone who is visual in that way pictures it
I am so excited for you darling!! This is so fabulous! ♥❤♥ I would LOVE to see this as some sort of mini series (selfishly so we have more time to delve into the characters and the vibe and really feel out all the things that made the books feel so amazing) *BTW - You are looking amazing lately, so psyched to see this on a screen and be able to share its awesomeness with others.
Thank you so much!!! 💜 I do really love a mini series since they have clear beginnings and endings while getting that series content length, so we’ll see!
Thank you!! And happy to! It’s such an opaque sort of industry to me, and I feel like so much of what I’ve learned has been very much through word of mouth, so I hope this helps clear things up at least a little bit
Ahh I’m so happy you could see it being great on screen! I have absolutely no say in what happens with the writers room haha but you can always contact the production company and see how they put together their team.
I wrote screenplays( have produced two short films) before starting my novel journey- options can sit on shelves forever, run out of budget, or just become not trendy anymore. I have a tv pilot script out there hoping to get picked up but it is one reason I went to novels because I can publish my own novel (hoping someone will option it for film..my dream)but unless you have money to make a show or film, it is hard. Thanks for sharing and good luck!!!
Oh 100% so SOOOOO many options just die out and never become anything. It’s always a big crapshoot and definitely difficult. Thank you and wishing you the best with your novel!!
Hi Liselle! I'll start by saying this is wonderful news! I thoroughly enjoyed Delicious Monsters by the way. I have a question for you. When you option can the production company make major changes to the plot or other details? Hypothetically, lets say your novel ends with the main character living happily ever after. Can the production company make the decision to, I don't know, kill off your main character in the end? Just curious.
I’m so happy you enjoyed Delicious Monsters!! And so, as I understand it, yes. They have creative control over how they choose to adapt the work with whichever streamer or network or other production companies they collaborate with. Which is why trust is so important in this relationship. I have to put trust in the company that I chose to sell this option in that they want to stay true to story. This is similar with selling to a streamer or network, because they can also influence this.
