"Growing Education" is adapted from the memoir of the same name by writer and journalist Lynn Barber. At first, it appeared in the British literary magazine Granta in serial form ... Nick Hornby took over the adaptation of this film. He said, "I'm not quite sure which one of Barber's autobiographies this is. When I finished reading the original book written by Barber, I showed it to my wife Amanda Posey, who is a producer here, and I said to her,' I smell a movie from this novel.' Potts agreed with my intuition, so she immediately found her partner, Finola Dwyer, and began to sum up the possibility of adapting it into a movie. However, what makes me feel extremely sad is that when they came to find the right screenwriter, they completely forgot me. It was not until they saw my eager eyes that they were surprised that the perfect person had been with them. "
