...which examines a rich literary category in a manner not merely for fans of media tie-in writing, but for new explorers, seasoned professionals. . .and even open-minded cynics.
New York Times and internationally bestselling authors Lee Goldberg, Alan Dean Foster, Steven Savile and James Reasoner hailed it as "definitive". . ."a milestone". . ."an eyeopener". . ."a genuine treasure" -plus "well-written, packed with information, and above all entertaining." well-written, packed with information, and above all entertaining."
Intertwined with its comprehensive history, reaching back to the silent movie era, THE NOVELIZERS is also a deep dive into the craft of adaptive and borrowed-universe story-telling. Aspiring and veteran writers seeking new insight will find it no less revelatory than the aficionado peering behind the curtain of the creative process.
As you drink in the history and the craft, you'll also meet the people for whom the book is named-many of them profiled here for the first time anywhere-and fall in love with them, via in-depth interviews and evocative, close-up portraits.
In the tradition of classic insider works about popular culture-such as William Goldman's Adventures in the Screen Trade, Craig Zadan's Sondheim & Co., and Marc Scott Zicree's The Twilight Zone Companion-David Spencer's THE NOVELIZERS resonates beyond its subject matter. It's a full-blooded and deeply human chronicle of merging media in modern society.
