Contract
Standard contracts. No agents required. Direct deal.
One of the most editorially ambitious launches in recent memory — and they're doing it without a single physical bookstore.
Greenlight is bringing a film studio's discipline to literary publishing. The catalogue feels curated by people who actually read.
The fastest deal we've ever closed for a translation right. Materials were ready, contract was clean, no agent in the middle. Three weeks from inquiry to signed.
Their character bibles are the most production-ready source documents I've seen come out of a publishing house. We optioned three titles in the first quarter.
