What does it mean when a book is optioned?

The word option when used in this context means to acquire the exclusive right to use (an authors work) as the basis for a motion picture (Merriam-Webster Unabridged). Therefore, having a book optioned means that a studio buys the rights for a set amount of time to develop the project into a film.

What are three types of licensing agreements?

Generally, there are three types of licensing agreements: exclusive, sole, or non-exclusive. In an exclusive license, the licensee is only the party that can use the licensed intellectual property.

What is a typical license agreement?

A licensing agreement is a legal contract between two parties, known as the licensor and the licensee. In a typical licensing agreement, the licensor grants the licensee the right to produce and sell goods, apply a brand name or trademark, or use patented technology owned by the licensor.

How much do studios pay to option a book?

The Option Price While every book to film deal is different, its very important for authors to know that there are some factors that are likely to result in a higher option or purchase price than others. The typical option price for a book is usually somewhere between $500 and $50,000.

How does optioning a book work?

In the option agreement, the producer gets an exclusive option to purchase the dramatic rights to the book (i.e. film and motion picture rights) during the option term. This means the producer has exclusive control over these rights and cannot be circumvented during the option period (by anyone).
