I have to agree with Dave. But it really depends on what your goal is Simon.

For example, maybe you're just trying to find a different way to sell a script. If that's the case, I always encourage this kind of outside the box thinking. If this is your plan, you're not trying to make money off the book/script, but you're hoping it will get discovered by someone who wants to make a movie. And as I have posted here, there is a trend in Hollywood for studios to obtain the movie rights for books, even short stories.

If you're actually expecting to make money off a book that's not even a book, I don't know. I mean there are thousands of writers out there, many of whom have been writing for many years, developing the craft, trying to break through. So the odds are already stacked, but you stack them even more if your book is not even really a book.

But don't take that to be discouraging, because I mean the opposite. You're willing to explore different paths, that's good! There are so many options for a storyteller. For one thing, you could put in the time to master prose. If you're young, why not? It will always improve your screenwriting if nothing else, and you might end up being a novelist.

But if you really despise prose writing, there are still other options, such as graphic novels. Or if you're a great story maker, but you feel your pose falls short, you could partner with someone with the opposite situation. There are people who are pretty good at prose but who don't like coming up with their own plots.

If you're still relatively young, I would really suggest exploring prose though. You don't have to write literature. Neil Gaimon writes mostly kids books and graphic novels. He's not a great writer, though he's become decent...but he is a good storyteller.

Another guy is Blake Crouch, who I think began as a screenwriter. He does a combo now, TV series and thrillers. His writing really came a long way. His last book, Antimatter, is very good read. It's not literature, it's good clean suspense writing. His older stuff is available for free if you sign up for kindle unlimited, which is free the first month to try. You can see how his writing grows from little novels that were obviously converted from screenplays.

So you're doing great exploring these things, keep on trucking.

Thanks for your time. I might spend a bit of money on professional help with my prose, or something...

There are all kinds of great books. I made the switch about 3 years ago. My prose wasn't bad, but there was a ton of learning I needed to do. I read King's book on writing and the Struck Rules on Style. Thinking that was enough, I set to writing. About a year and a half ago, I joined a local writer's group. That was good for feedback.

This past September, I realized that even though my prose was not bad, I still was making some poor decisions. And in any field you want to succeed in, you have to work your ass off to master everything you can. So this psat fall I read several more books on writing and style, and on literature.

For example, there is a cheap book on kindle called It Was the Best of Sentences, It Was the Worst. There are other similar books you can get for cheap. It takes a few days to get through them, but it's worth it.

If your writing is sometimes ok but needs a lot of work, there is no doubt you can make great strides quickly.

Alright, thanks, I'll bear that in mind. I'm kind of desperate for work, right now, and rewriting my book would take a long time. I'd certainly give it a rewrite if an agent told me to, but at the moment it's a risk. I was thinking I could make some money from my blog, or something, I've also tried finding work teaching joke writing courses.  I've had some interest from an employer, but he said he can't book me any teaching slots, at the moment.
