From screen to screen
Proving new publishing avenues are becoming ever more viable means to a successful writing career, Kelly Anne Blount has now optioned the screen rights for two recent novels to Komixx Entertainment Ltd, an independent production company based both in the US and UK. Nothing unusual in an author optioning screen rights, perhaps. Except that neither Under, optioned in 2016, and now Captured, have ever been traditionally published, instead finding a vast readership thorough the online service Wattpad.com. The site notes that Captured, described as an ‘electrifying’ YA thriller, has been read by over 15.6 million people around the world.
