What We’re Looking For

• Books (novels/novellas): high-concept, voice-driven, market-aware manuscripts or proposals.

• Film/Series: feature or pilot scripts with a clear logline, comps, and a feasible path to proof-of-concept.

• Creator-owned IP: projects where you retain ownership; we collaborate via licensing, services, and revenue participation.

Key Policies (Plain English)

• You keep your IP. We’re a creator-led studio; publishing uses a license, and film involves negotiated participation only when we invest. See our Creator Policy for details.

• Submissions are voluntary and non-confidential until a contract is signed. This is standard and already stated in our Terms of Use. 

• Similar ideas can exist. By submitting, you acknowledge HMC may independently develop or be pitched similar concepts; no compensation/credit is implied unless a written agreement is executed.

• Confidentiality once under contract. When we formalize a deal, non-public materials are treated as confidential; we never disclose or exploit your work without consent (see Creator Policy: Confidentiality & Trust).

• Data handling. Contact details and submission metadata are handled per our Privacy Policy.

 

Accessibility

Hudson Media Collective LLC is committed to accessibility. If you need an alternative submission method or format, email hudsonmediacollective@gmail.com and we’ll accommodate. (See our Accessibility Statement.)
