Wilkov will be a Panel Master in the 2018 ThrillerFest XIII Conference being held this weekend at the Grand Hyatt located at 109 East 42^ndStreet, New York, NY 10017. Ms. Wilkov will lead the conversations about Books to Films, Films to Books on Friday, July 13, 2018 at 2:40pm that will be focused on adaptations from book to film or television and the different approaches and considerations required. The discussion will provide insights from both the writer's point of view as well as the industry professional's.

Speaking from a variety of perspectives and experiences, the prominent slate of panelists will include Peter Blauner, an author, journalist and television producer; Lawrence Block, prize-winning crime writer and award-winning novelist; Jenevieve Brewer, personal talent manager at Jenevieve Brewer Talent Management; Mark DeGasperi, professional story analyst, script doctor, executive director of Media Development International and adjunct professor at New York University; Matthew Quinn Martin, actor, screenwriter and horror novelist; Maria C. Miles, Esq., entertainment attorney; and Nina Sadowsky, film and television producer, screenwriter, author of two books, one of which is in development as an original television series, and a part-time faculty member at USC's School of Cinematic Arts Program.

"Authors and writers often don't realize what is required for adaptations of their projects to film or television," said Wilkov. "To make the leap to the entertainment industry, writers need to get clear about what their stories and books are about and how they can successfully lift into a Hollywood script or screenplay, whether they write them or work with other writers to adapt them."

"Jennifer Wilkov brings a wealth of experience and knowledge, along with warm enthusiasm, to the Books to Film panel at ThrillerFest. We're very excited to have such a talent at the conference, with other special guests including George R.R. Martin, James Rollins, and Megan Abbott," said Kimberley Howe, executive director of ThrillerFest.
