New Release: Lifelines by Shireen Magedin

Lifelines by Shireen Magedin was released on 25 January 2022.
It’s 1975 in Nawabshah, Pakistan. Sarah and Tanya have fallen in love in an ancient land. Can they withstand the fierce opposition to their forbidden love in a city of deeply held beliefs and cultural traditions? Their journey is just beginning.

The world is changing, but not fast enough for Tanya Kareem. Her promotion to police inspector sends her to Nawabshah where she will have to prove herself and take a leading role in a man’s world.

Sarah Shahzad Shah’s passion for learning and compassion for her patients make her a brilliant doctor in training. But she possesses psychic abilities that she doesn’t know how to master… yet. Those gifts will come in handy when she handles some of her more puzzling cases that lead her to Inspector Tanya Kareem.

From Book to Script… How Creatives Can Move Forward

I’ve had writers contact me about how they can turn their book into a script for it to be developed into a movie. How easy is it to do? What needs to be done?

Today I want to introduce you to a company which can help creatives in that area. One of our dearest friends is Adrienne Wilkinson and she runs the Plan A Media Group. Here’s the info you need…

Calling all Creatives (and especially those who are interested in the film industry)

Adrienne has a consulting firm called Plan A Media Group. Adrienne has been helping writers streamline their scripts to make them ready to be submitted or produced, etc. She has a superpower of helping creators turn their filmed projects into successes (if your edit isn’t working and you don’t know why or are just stuck, Plan A Media Group can tell you why it isn’t working and give suggestions on how to fix it etc.).

Plan A Media Group also helps with pitch materials, etc. You can see the full list of services on Plan A Media Group’s website.  Essentially, Adrienne is what writers need: a fresh pair of eyes for creatives. Adrienne has nearly 20 years of experience in successfully helping colleagues with their creative projects.

Are you serious about wanting to take the next step? Well, this service will give you that opportunity. We all need a helping hand, and having an experienced professional mentor you through the process is the only way to go. This is for those who are serious about their goals and want to break into the industry.
