Galaxie Vertical drama, adapted from novels

Full episodes. And the clips cut from them.

Episodes from series we've made, and the pieces cut out of them — each one with its own hook, sized for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.

If you're an author and we've been in touch, this is what you'd be getting. Write to me with anything you want to know.

What this is

An author commissions a series adapted from their book. I produce it — adaptation, scripts, performance, the cut — and it goes up on Galaxie, where every episode carries a link to the book it came from.

You keep your book. The copyright stays yours, along with every other right you had before we spoke — film, television, everything. What you license is narrow: permission to adapt the specific chapters we agree on, into the episodes we agree on. That's the whole grant.

The series streams here first. Galaxie carries the episodes exclusively for twelve months, with your buy link on every one of them. After that they can go anywhere you want them — and they stay up here too, still pointing at your book.

The clips are yours from day one. Every clip cut from the series is yours to post, run as advertising, or use however you want, with no restriction and no end date.

You're in it as it's made. You see which chapters I'd adapt and why before anything is written. You read every script and send notes — one round — and you have a final say on anything that misrepresents your book or your characters. What gets cut for time is my call, and I'll tell you why.

You pay in stages. Not all upfront. And if you read the scripts and don't want to go ahead, you don't.

The rest — what it costs, how long it takes, what your book specifically would look like in this format — is a conversation rather than a page. Write to me and I'll tell you exactly what I'd do with it.

Who you'd be working with

I'm Thomas Xie. I produced in China and in France, came to Los Angeles for the USC Peter Stark Producing Program, and went from there to Sony Pictures Television, in the Office of the President, and then to business affairs at Sony Pictures Animation — including on KPop Demon Hunters, which won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature this year.

Business affairs is the half of this business that deals in rights and paperwork: who owns what, and what a contract actually gives away. It's a useful thing to have done before asking a writer to trust you with their book.
