| 2 | Prolific author Glendon Swarthout had a phenomenal book and short story sale to Hollywood ratio. Over 50% of the 16 novels and six books for teenagers he wrote, as well as several of his 14 short stories, were either optioned, sold, or eventually made into motion pictures or movies for television. The amazing literary batting average was due to his truly original stories of all types and genres, as well as because Glendon told linear stories, with beginnings, middles, and end, without a lot of interior monologues (what his characters were thinking), or flashbacks.
