Author IP Development
Developing series, story worlds and characters for long term growth.
Overview

How we work
There are six possible stages. We identify which ones your project needs and the right order for them.
- 01
Assess
We read the work closely and give an honest view of its strengths, gaps and realistic opportunities.
- 02
Develop
Editorial and creative work that strengthens the material itself before anything is packaged or promoted.
- 03
Position
Defining genre, readership, comparable titles and the language used to present the work and its author.
- 04
Build
We prepare the book for publication, strengthen its retail presence and help it find its audience.
- 05
Expand
Where the material supports it, considering series, story worlds and characters as long term intellectual property.
- 06
Adapt
Exploring screen, audio and international formats with materials developed to a professional standard.
