I can FINALLY make the announcement I’ve been wanting to share!
….
The Canterwood Crest series was optioned for a TV series or TV movie!!!
For real!
In February, I got an email from a producer at Breakthrough Entertainment who said she’d like to discuss the books. I passed her info to Agent A and they immediately started talking. While I waited, I tried not to get too excited because I knew how slim the chances were to have this email lead to a yes.
But it did! Cross your fingers that you’ll one day see Canterwood on-screen! I’m so grateful to have this option and thank you sooo much to everyone involved.
Yaaay! 🙂
Jessica Burkhart 
I had a suspicion that was what it was! I am reading BTB and I can see it very much as a tv show.
That is so great! Congratulations, Jess! And my little sister is going to be psyched about this news – she's been talking nonstop about Sasha & co. for the last few days, after reading (and loving!) Behind the Bit.
Woohoo! That’s terrific! Congratulations and good luck. 😀
A TV show would be so awesome!!!!! That is so cool. I bet you are psyched.
Fantastic news! Congratulations!!
Oh my god!! That’s freaking amazing, Jess. Congrats.Be sure to keep us updated!!
Yaaaayyyyy!!!!!!Everything’s coming up roses for you! I’m so happy!!!

Eeee, that’s awesome! I would so watch it! And can’t you just see gaggles of teenaged girls gathered around the barn lounge cleaning tack and watching the TV series? Awesome news!

CONGRATULATIONS, Jessica! That is FANTASTIC!!! Keeping my fingers crossed!!
OMG congratulations! How amazing! I’ve got the chills! Yay!And I can congratulate you in person next Thursday at the Teen Author Carnival!
Yay! How exciting. Saddle Club is one of my fave kids shows… I still watch it on Discovery Kids. Part of the magic with that show is that everyone has different accents since it was a Canadian/Australian production. You should hope Canadians make your TV show. They make the best kids show. Looking forward to it.
yay!! Congrats, Jessica!!! How wonderful!!

I loooooove canter wood crest and think it wud make a WONDERFUL tv show!!!
Ohmigod so super excited!Ever since i started and finished the series i have been searching if it would become a movie and after 4 mounths of googling it and stuff i gave up… but now like 3 mounths later it IS going to become a movie/serie!!! OMG congrats and thank you!!
OMG that is the best news i've ever heard i loved the books and got to book # 6 and then had to stop because i was getting ebooks and they were super expensive like in one month i read 5 books and it cost like almost 80$. but congrats i'll be glued to the computer waiting for more news! 🙂
sorry make that book 13. i'm the anonymous right above this
so what? nobody cares about those stupid books anyway. Read the tiger's curse series by colleen houck instead. they're way better.
well, your just a little ray of sunshine.
