DRIVE - Hossein Amini - how to write a great opening
ATONEMENT - Christopher Hampton - fidelity to the novel
PRIDE & PREJUDICE - Deborah Moggach - importance of point of view / use of voiceover (compare and contrast with Andrew Davies' TV version)
GREAT EXPECTATIONS - Sarah Phelps - how small changes can make a big difference (compare and contract with David Nicholls' film version)
WILD - Nick Hornby - the challenges of nonfiction
