Should I sell the rights to my story or shelve it?

[Michael Angelo Go]

Hi, I haven't been on this forum in a very long time, but about two years ago, I worked on this piece called "I am Maganda" and I would really love to see this book actually come to life, because I do think it tells a very important story that is meaning to people.

But I don't have the time to draw, invest, market, etc. to make this book idea I had into a reality. So I think the best option is to either shelve where it may lay dormant for several years, or just give it to someone more talented and has several more resources than me.

What do you think I should do? I have someone very special in mind I want to hand over this intellectual property to

Hi Michael,

Thanks for sharing your dilemma. Although, it kinda sounds like you've already answered your own question.

If it's an important story that is meaningful to people and you'd love to see it come to life but don't have the time, and you already have someone in mind that you want to hand it over to (assuming they're willing), then go for it!

Only, if the special person is willing, do let us know when it gets off the ground. I, for one, love to see how our fellow SVSers progress with their projects.

Good luck!

@Michael-Angelo-Go I’m really curious tho. Can you actually sell book ideas?

Hi @Michael-Angelo-Go, I suggest you shelve it and come back to it once you’re ready to invest the time in creating it. You’ll be a better artist, too, if you keep learning and growing.
