The List, the 2012 Young Adult novel by Siobhan Vivian BFA '01 (Writing for Film & Television), has been optioned for an MTV series. Screenwriter Liz Maccie ("Make It or Break It") will adapt the book and her husband, screenwriter / author / director Stephen Chbosky (The Perks of Being a Wallflower), has signed on as executive producer. The pair calls the book "ripe for a television adaptation" in a recent Publisher's Weekly article. An insightful and provocative novel about a list of the ugliest and prettiest girl in each grade at Mount Washington High that mysteriously appears each year before homecoming, The List explores the effects the rankings have on the most recently chosen girls.
