Reblog: The Book to Screen Debate, part 3 by Toi Thomas

Yesterday, I continued my blog series on books and movies by introducing the concept of novelizations and tie-ins. Please check it out. 

“Now it’s time to put a spin on this Book to Screen Debate and get into novelizations. Yes, you heard me right. I told you (in part 2) I’d be talking about books based on movies (that discussion about movies I liked better than the book comes next time).

Most people have seen a novelization several times in their life without realizing what they were seeing. To give it a name, makes it stand out, but they are quite common. Before I explain just how common they are, let me first state that there are 3 kinds of novelizations…Yeah, who knew?

1) There is the first-in-print edition of a novel based solely on the premise of a theatrical release.

2) There is the novel based on a movie that was originally based on a: comic book, play, video game, etc…

3) There is the novel and screenplay collaboration that totally comes down to which one gets released first…” Read more over at A Small Gang of Authors.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post. If you like it let me know and share it with others. See you next time, Toi Thomas. #thetoiboxofwords
