Dear Author,
Your story on Pratilipi can grow beyond the written format. If a story performs well or shows strong potential, it may be considered for other formats like audio, comics, books, microdramas, or video.
Here is a simple explanation of how the IP journey works inside Pratilipi.
- 1
When the IP Journey Begins
When a story performs well or shows strong potential, Pratilipi's internal teams may start evaluating it for possible adaptations.
This is the first step where your story may enter the IP journey.

What Happens When Your Story Is Selected
Selected stories are added to the Pratilipi IP Warehouse, where different creative teams can explore them.
A story may be considered for audio, comics, books, microdramas, or long-format video. Selection does not guarantee immediate adaptation, but it keeps your story visible for future opportunities.

Adaptation Rights We Request
If your story is chosen for adaptation, we request only the specific rights needed for that project.
These rights allow us to create new versions of your story while keeping your authorship intact.

What We Expect After an Agreement
After an agreement, we request you to keep your story published on Pratilipi.
Please also inform us if any external team approaches you for rights, and avoid signing overlapping agreements.
- 5
What Authors Should Avoid
Please avoid deleting your story, offering rights to someone else without informing us, or hiding previous rights agreements.
These actions can delay or stop possible adaptation opportunities.

How We Evaluate Stories for IP
We look for strong storytelling, reader engagement, unique concepts, and adaptability across formats.
If a story fits well with our creative verticals, it may move into our internal IP pipeline.
Happy writing!
— Team Pratilipi
