Dream big and go for it!

In this highly motivational interview, we're talking with bestselling author Jonathan Yanez about his journey from the written word to the big screen.

From learning to write screenplays by reading them online, to immersing himself in film culture by attending film conventions and events, he discusses the importance of understanding and accepting one's limitations while also encouraging listeners to push beyond their comfort zones.

Jonathan Yanez is the bestselling author of the Forsaken Mercenary series and award-winning writer and producer of Infinity System.

Question of the Week: Have you ever thought about writing your own screenplay to turn your novel into film? Did you go for it?
