novelise
Turn into fiction
Novelise is the British spelling of novelize—to adapt something into novel form.
A film, historical event, or true story might be novelised for readers who prefer narrative prose: The screenwriter novelised her own script.
The practice often involves expanding scenes and adding interior monologue that other media can't easily convey.
