From Page to Screen: The Journey of Author Carley Fortune's Hit Novels
A successful author's first novel, 'Every Summer After,' has been adapted into a popular Prime Video series. Now, she is gearing up for the second season of the show and is also involved in the Netflix adaptation of her book 'This Summer Will Be Different,' set in Prince Edward Island. The author, Carley Fortune, initially wrote 'Every Summer After' as a personal project during a challenging time in her journalism career. The book's unexpected success led to its adaptation into a hit TV series, 'Every Year After,' which recently concluded its first season on Prime Video. Despite some changes in the adaptation process, the author remained closely involved in ensuring the Canadian setting and key character details were preserved. The success of 'Every Summer After' opened up new opportunities for Fortune, leading her to explore her passion for fiction writing further. She has since released several more books and is currently working on the adaptation of 'This Summer Will Be Different' for Netflix. The author's love for Canadian settings and her admiration for Prince Edward Island, inspired by 'Anne of Green Gables,' continue to influence her storytelling and creative process.
