How do you list yourself in a bio if you've adapted a book for stage? "Writer" seems wrong, and "Adapter" seems weird.

If you wrote the script, you're a writer.

If it's a script for the stage, wouldn't (s)he be a playwright or dramatist? Writer, to me, implies newspapers or magazines.

Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional.

If you wrote a play - original, or adapted from another source - you are a playwright.

"Adapted for the stage by ___" is how I've seen it listed in programs. In the copyright he is referred to as the author.
For your purposes, how about "The author of the stage adaptation of XXX (author)'s, XXX (Book Title)."
