Rights & Intellectual Property
How copyright, adaptation, audio and podcast rights affect what is possible.
Copyright
Authors or their publishers usually hold copyright in a book. Only rights holders can license it.
Film & television rights
Producers typically secure an option before developing an adaptation. Availability varies by title.
Audiobook & audio adaptation rights
Audiobook and dramatised audio rights may be held separately from screen rights.
Podcast participation
Discussing a book on a podcast does not require adaptation rights, but recordings need participant consent.
What affects an opportunity
Rights availability, author consent, producer interest, financing, agreements and suitability all play a part.
