The Making of The Marigold List
B. A. Steele has enjoyed movies and literature since childhood. Therefore, she decided to attend Cleveland State University to study Film and Digital Media. The Marigold List stemmed from a college project she developed with the help of her screenwriting professor. Only the first act was written.
After graduating with a Bachelor's in Film and Communications (2018), Steele finished the script and had connections with other film industry professionals to help perfect her screenplay. The script was drafted over twenty times thanks to the feedback and re-editing that had to be done to reach the final version. Even though the script was optimized to a professional standard; the competitive market for new writers who get their work optioned, produced, and distributed, are always slim. With that probability, The Marigold List would never reach an audience.
Whether the dramatic screenplay is made into a film or not, B. A. Steele still wanted people to experience her story. To spread the awareness and fun of reading scripts, B. A. Steele decided to self-publish it through Amazon to simply print and distribute the hardcopies and eBooks. The Marigold List is registered with the WGA (Writer's Guild of America) and is copyrighted.
