Are you a novelist who's curious about screenwriting or a screenwriter considering a switch to prose?  We think two articles by Derek Haas would be of great interest to you.  As author of the novels The Silver Bear and Columbus, as well as co-writer of the screenplays 3:10 TO YUMA and WANTED, Haas has been on both sides of the fence.  Earlier this week, he offered enlightening insights about the differences between screenwriting and novel-writing in his guest posts for MulhollandBooks.com.  

Check them out here:
