Lane Shefter Bishop @LaneShefterBish - Lane’s philosophy has always been: you can be the best writer with the most amazing idea in the world but none of that matters if you can’t sell your material.
CNN calls her "The Book Whisperer" as she's set up dozens of book-to-screen adaptations, including the recent successful feature film THE DUFF.
