Firstly, I am not going to say writing a book is easy, it isn’t. But writing it is just the first step. You don’t mention whether you were able to get the book published, or by who. But before you can even begin the process of getting it made into a movie you need to take it apart and rewrite it as a screenplay then you either need to sell that screenplay to a studio who can make the movie or raise the money to hire producers, directors, actors, camera people, …. all the various people that turn a screenplay into a movie.
Secondly, by the time all of that is done, the result may or may not be what you thought it would be, but now it is again time to sell it, this time to your audience.
Finally, Much of the tough work can be done by a studio if you succeed in selling it to them in the earlier step, but unless you have a good agent or an equally good lawyer (possibly both) you will not have much input into what the final product looks like.
After all, you need care about editing; to start with check the webpages of published authors who have had books they wrote turned into movies. Most of them are perfectly willing to answer sincere questions, but they won’t do the work for you and you will probably have to establish your own contacts the hard way.
