A clear map of the stages between a story and anything produced from it

Stories and Projects · Where reading, writing and rights meet
How do a story and a project relate?
Understand how one might lead to another, while rights stay separate at every stage.
After Dark StoryHouse publishes fiction. Her Desire Studio handles production. They are deliberately different things, and the route between them is neither automatic nor implied. Reading a story grants no licence. Writing one grants no publication. Each later format — a reading, an audio work, an adaptation — is a separate, optional decision with its own agreement. There is a valid endpoint at every stage, including the first.
What you may take away

The distinction between reading, publication, audio, adaptation and production rights

What happens here
Three small, reversible steps.
- 01
Read the published fiction — no account, no submission, no commitment
- 02
Treat each stage as a separate decision, because contractually it is
- 03
Submissions and commissions are not open; there is nothing to send
