Hi, Veruca,

Thanks for posting. Film companies make movoes; I write books.

Movies. There are quite a few movies already, like the 3 Bruno & Boots Macdonald Hall movies, and I hope there will be more to come. For example, a film company holds the rights to RESTART, and there are other books under film contracts too. It's just a matter of everything working out -- a lot of books are optioned, but the films never actually happen.

So we'll keep a good thought, and cross our fingers, OK? -----Gordon Korman-----

Hello,

I'm Amit Boiman. I love making movies and short films and am currently enrolled in a film organization called Midpen Studios. At Midpen, we were thinking of making a short film or series off your book, The Fort. After it would be finished, the "episode would be posted on YouTube or shown somewhere else. How would we get the rights and such? From you? From your agent?

Thanks,

Amit

Thanks, Amit. You'd have to get info on the rights, etc., from my agent. Curtis Brown Ltd. in New York City. The person to deal with is named Holly Frederick, and the email address is:
