Say you write a book and it takes off online. What if it then turned into a mega-hit … say the movie rights were sold to a Hollywood studio and Matt Damon was cast to star in it?
Don’t believe it can happen? Listen to this …
This is Andy Weir’s story, and in this podcast he explains exactly how it happened.
