“I have so much respect and awe for Toni Collette and am really excited that she will make her directorial debut with an adaptation of ‘Writers & Lovers,’ ” King wrote in an email. “The book is about taking risks and pursing your ambitions no matter what messages you are getting from the outside world, so it seems fitting she is taking the leap with this project.
