FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Completed manuscripts, self-published works, and traditionally published books are all welcome. You just need to own the adaptation rights.
Most publishing contracts only cover print/digital publishing rights. Film/TV adaptation rights typically remain with the author. Check your contract or consult your publisher to confirm.
Options typically range from $5,000–$50,000 for indie/mid-level deals. Full adaptation rights for studio productions can reach six or seven figures. Self-published and debut authors should expect the lower range initially.
Yes. This is a new and growing category. You can create specific packages for AI-narrated audiobooks, AI-assisted screenplay adaptations, or AI-generated content based on your work.
