Effective Date: April 2, 2025
Introduction and Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to OptionAvenue. By accessing or using our website, mobile applications, or related services (collectively, the “Services”), you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to any part of these Terms, you may not use our Services.
Description of Services
OptionAvenue is a full-service Hollywood literary agency that represents independent authors, screenwriters, and writer-directors seeking publication or adaptation into film, television, and streaming projects. We offer professional representation through our Literary Agent Service, including strategic pitch development, direct outreach to industry professionals, and visual materials to support adaptation and licensing opportunities.
As of April 1, 2025, OptionAvenue no longer functions as a free submission or listing platform. Representation is limited to paying clients enrolled in our Literary Agent Service.
Client Listing and Representation Status
Authors who appear on our public Clients page (https://optionavenue.com/clients) are officially represented by OptionAvenue under our Literary Agent Service model.
By appearing on this page, you grant OptionAvenue permission to promote, pitch, and manage your materials in connection with industry outreach.
If an author wishes to terminate representation, they must notify us in writing via email at [email protected] with 30 days’ notice.
User Eligibility and Account Registration
You must be at least 18 years old to use our Services.
You are responsible for providing accurate and current registration and contact information.
Representation is limited to approved and enrolled clients only.
User Responsibilities and Warranties
By using our Services, you confirm:
You hold the legal rights to option, adapt, or promote the submitted intellectual property.
You have the authority to enter this agreement, or to act on behalf of the author.
If your book is under a publishing contract, you retain the necessary rights to pursue film/TV/publishing opportunities independently.
You will not use our Services for unauthorized, unlawful, or misleading purposes.
Fees and Services
Literary Agent Service: $95/month + 10% commission on any deal secured by OptionAvenue. No long-term contracts.
If you independently secure a deal before our outreach begins, OptionAvenue waives commission on that project.
Monthly fees paid will be credited back toward commission if we successfully broker a deal.
A signed copy of your book is required for representation (for internal reference and industry meetings).
Authors are responsible for providing a manuscript (PDF), bio, headshot, and any available links.
Other Services Include:
