Prose was never going to survive the transfer intact.
Good.
A novel gives you interiority, a slow build, and a reader who’ll wait three chapters for a payoff. Vertical gives you none of that and demands a turn every ninety seconds. Adaptation isn’t compression — it’s re-engineering the story around a completely different retention contract.
We work from novels, web novels, webtoons, short fiction, finished features, and formats you already control. What we’re looking for in your source material is the engine: the relationship that can keep generating reversals for eighty episodes. Then we build outward from that.
01
Source read & engine assessment
We tell you honestly whether it can carry a vertical run, and at what length.

03
Bible & breakdowns
Characters reshaped for a format where the audience meets them in a 9:16 close-up.

Every episode, production-ready.
Source-fidelity note
You also get a document recording what changed and why — the one you’ll want when you go back to the rights holder.

Whether that’s a finished series you can put into production next month, or an adaptation of something you already own.
