Suzanne Allain - Author/Screenwriter Mr. Malcolm's List

Suzanne Allain wrote her first novel, Mr. Malcolm’s List, in 2009 and has since turned it into the screenplay for the movie of the same name. Find out how that all went down in this episode.
Suzanne is another writer who was working in an entirely different field before she decided to take a chance and try her hand at something she’d always wanted to do. She shares the story of that journey with Jeniffer and Chad, and offers some good advice for aspiring writers. She’s living proof that with talent and perseverance it’s totally possible to write successful novels and do big things like breaking into the world of screenwriting—and having your script optioned for a movie!
