novelizing
Turning into prose
Novelizing is the act of adapting a story from another medium—typically a film, television show, or video game—into novel form.
The practice reverses the more common path of books becoming movies: She's novelizing the screenplay for the summer blockbuster.
The resulting book is a novelization.
