Creator Policy

HUDSON MEDIA COLLECTIVE LLC

Last Updated: 10/22/2025

1. Our Creator-First Commitment

Hudson Media Collective™ (“HMC,” “we,” “our,” or “the Company”) is a Georgia-based publishing and production studio founded on one guiding principle:
creators own their work.

We exist to empower writers, filmmakers, and creatives through fair, transparent collaboration.
Every project we publish, produce, or develop honors that principle,

ensuring that creators retain control, credit, and compensation for their intellectual property (IP).

2. Intellectual Property Ownership

You own your work. Unless otherwise stated in a written and signed agreement, all ideas, manuscripts, screenplays, and creative materials submitted to or developed with Hudson Media Collective remain the sole property of their original creator.
We don’t claim ownership of unsolicited or reviewed materials unless a specific contract defines a partnership or production arrangement.
Publishing projects: Authors retain 100% of their literary IP. HMC holds only a temporary publishing and distribution license, as outlined in individual Creator Agreements.
Film or multimedia projects: When HMC invests in development or production, the Company may hold a minority IP participation share (generally 25% or as otherwise agreed) to reflect production involvement, distribution, or financing.

3. Submissions & Pitches

We welcome collaboration inquiries and project submissions from creators, but please note:

Unsolicited submissions (projects, scripts, or pitches sent without prior invitation, OR without signing the Idea Release Form) may not receive a response.
Submissions sent through HMC’s website, social channels, or email are considered voluntary and non-confidential until formalized in writing.
By submitting materials, you confirm that you are the rightful owner and have full authority to share the work.
No compensation, partnership, or evaluation guarantee is implied unless a written contract is executed.
We will never publicly share or use your material without express written permission.

4. Collaboration & Contracting

All collaborations, publishing agreements, production deals, and creative partnerships are governed by

written contracts signed by both parties.
Each contract defines:

Scope of Work
IP ownership and licensing
Profit-sharing and royalties
Creative and editorial control
Distribution and credit terms

All contracts are subject to the internal governance and policies of Hudson Media Collective LLC,

including its Operating Agreement and company standards of practice.

5. Creator Royalties & Compensation

HMC is committed to fair, transparent compensation for all creators.
Publishing royalties: Authors typically receive up to 90% of net profits after recouped expenses.
Film & multimedia projects: Creators retain majority IP ownership and profit participation unless otherwise agreed.
Royalties are reported semi-annually (June 30 and December 31) with detailed expense summaries.

6. Credit & Brand Representation

All published or produced works will include proper credit as defined in each project’s contract.
Example:

“Published by Hudson Media Collective™”
“In Association with Hudson Media Collective™”

"Executive Producer: Hudson Media Collective™"
“Created by [Creator Name]”

Creators maintain the right to publicly identify themselves as the author or originator of their work.

7. Confidentiality & Trust

Any non-public materials shared under a signed agreement are treated as confidential.
HMC will never disclose, distribute, or exploit a creator’s work, trade secrets, or private information without written consent.

We hold this principle to the highest standard.

Any work submitted or in production, including unsolicited submissions, will never be shared, replicated,

or used outside its intended purpose.
Hudson Media Collective™ takes every creator’s ideas seriously, regardless of where they come from, and treats all creative contributions with equal respect and protection.

8. Governance & Company Structure

Hudson Media Collective™ or HMC™ operates under Hudson Media Collective LLC, a Georgia-registered limited liability company.
All business, publishing, and production dealings are conducted according to the

Company’s internal Operating Agreement, ethical guidelines, and professional standards.
Disputes or legal matters shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States.
