novelises
Turns into fiction
Novelises is the British spelling of novelizes, meaning to adapt something into novel form.
A screenwriter might novelise a film, or a journalist might novelise a true crime story.
The process typically involves expanding material and adding narrative elements suited to long-form fiction: interior monologue, descriptive passages, invented dialogue.
