I would like to adapt a novel I wrote into a screenplay, and I was wondering if there are things to take into consideration before taking the dive. The novel doesn't have a lot of dialogue and I think it's going to be a big issue since a screenplay usually has a lot of dialogue. Is there a way to go about it and any guidelines I can follow to make this endeavor successful? I am mostly concerned about the dialogue, and what to do with it.
