Business & Representation
Aurora Design Studios develops original science-fiction books, screenplays, narrative universes, and visual development material. This division gives literary agents, publishers, managers, producers, attorneys, and adaptation partners a clear route to the material appropriate for their role.
Choose the correct professional path
Where should you begin?
The correct first contact depends on the material. A novel does not follow the same submission path as a screenplay, and neither should be mixed with technology licensing from Aurora Design Systems.
Publishers & acquiring editors
Review concise, non-confidential property treatments. Full manuscripts, synopses, and series documentation are supplied only through an accepted submission route or professional request.
Enter publisher review →Managers, producers & studios
The screen route covers original scripts, limited-series concepts, feature adaptations, production packaging, and controlled screenplay review.
Open the screen pathway →Attorneys, licensing & rights partners
Use this path for publishing contracts, option or shopping agreements, territorial rights, adaptation rights, licensing, confidentiality, and chain-of-title review.
Review rights coordination →The book-first business path
Aurora is prioritizing literary representation for its strongest completed manuscripts. One flagship book is queried at a time; the wider series and adaptation potential support the pitch without overwhelming the initial submission.
Select the lead manuscript
Lock genre, word count, audience, hook, synopsis, and sample pages.
Query the right agent
Match each submission to the agent’s current list and instructions.
Agent submits to editors
The representative positions the work, manages interest, and compares offers.
Negotiate defined rights
Limit grants by format, language, territory, duration, and use.
Important distinction: for the same book, language,
territory, and format, one publisher normally receives the exclusive
publishing grant. Audio, translation, foreign-territory, film/TV,
game, and merchandising rights may be separated when the contract
permits it.

Controlled-review boundary: Initial contact should
stay non-confidential. Aurora does not accept third-party story
submissions, scripts, inventions, or confidential concepts through
this website. Aurora’s own full manuscripts and protected development
materials are shared only after a verified request and an appropriate
review path.
