Brisbane Writers Festival (BWF) and Screen Queensland will bring together the publishing and Queensland production industries in a special festival event, ‘Books to Box Office’, that could see an author’s work adapted into a film or television programme with the support of a Screen Queensland development package, worth up to $40,000.
“The development package will be awarded to support an adaptation pitched at the event, and includes the option fee for the author, with a $2,000 bonus for a book by a Queensland writer,” said Maureen Barron, CEO of Screen Queensland.
