The editorial universe

One canon across five titles, ages two to adult — anchored by a publication-ready novel and the facsimile of Eleanor's Notebook. Rights available, and every term open to negotiation.

Five titles, one canon.

The editorial line was born with the story, not after it — every book corresponds to a beat of the canon. Two volumes are ready today; the full ladder spans ages two to adult.

Ready today
Literary anchor
The Summer We Saw Margaret
Novel · ~100 pp · publication-ready

The literary origin of the IP and the work the screenplay was adapted from — the prose home of the full world. A sample chapter is shareable; the full manuscript is read under NDA.

Print-ready facsimile
Eleanor's Notebook
A5 cloth-bound · ~88 pp · print-ready

The film's central prop, reproduced page by page — Eleanor's seabird plates, her unfinished atlas of the seven seas, the new keeper's pages. Seven seal die-cuts link to the Ocean Atlas; a diploma pocket. A collector object and a guided field journal at once.

The five-title ladder
01
Margaret
Board book · ages 2–4 · 20 pp · pre-film — the entry door for the youngest sibling.
02
Eleanor's Birds
Illustrated album · ages 4–8 · 48 pp · pre-film — thirty-eight years of seabirds, until a gray whale breached off the point.
03
Walt's Lighthouse
Junior novel · ages 8–12 · ~150 pp · film window — the quietest job on the coast, the loudest love of his life.
04
The Summer We Saw Margaret
Picture-book tie-in · ages 4–8 · 72 pp · release window — the official illustrated adaptation.
05
The Art Of
Collector edition · kidult · post-film — development art, the signal that started it, Eleanor's plates at full size.

Note: title 04 shares its name with the novel but is a distinct product — the illustrated picture-book adaptation, synchronized with the film, not the prose novel above.

Built for five shelves at once.

The line is engineered to live on more than one shelf — a collector object, a guided journal, a read-aloud, and a classroom resource, all from the same canon.

Premium publishers

Co-edition, translation, and collector editions of the novel, the ladder, and the facsimile, produced under studio art direction.

Bookshops & gift shops

Trade retail plus the natural circuit of museum and aquarium gift shops along the seven seas of the Atlas.

Libraries & schools

The guided field-journal layer and the marine-biology and rupture-and-repair substance — adoptable at every age band.

Collectors & kidult gifting

The numbered editions, the art-of, and the boxed chest — the heirloom-grade end of the line.

Families

Direct retail for the dyad the whole IP is built around — the read-aloud and the first-trip gift.

Individual, and in pairs.Always open to negotiation

How the line is licensed.

The studio licenses; the publisher produces under studio art direction. Coherence over volume — one premium licensee per territory, not ten mediocre ones.

  • Advance + 8–10% royalty — standard publishing terms, structured per title and territory.
  • Approval rights — the studio holds final approval on materials, design, palette, tone, and print quality.
  • 18–24-month reversion — rights return if a contracted title is not brought to market within the window.
  • One licensee per territory — category exclusivity protects the premium positioning.
  • Art direction retained — Eleanor's visual world and the canon stay under studio authorship.

Every term above is a starting point — open to negotiation by title, territory, and partner.
