Three distinct paths, with ownership and agreements kept visible.

MAQUINE separates paid Studio services, rights partnerships, and MAQUINE-published editions. An inquiry into one path does not appoint MAQUINE to another, transfer rights, or create a publishing role.

Canonical Service Families

Choose the operating model before choosing the next action.

Every family has its own purpose, commercial structure, rights effect, agreement, and intake route.

MAQUINE Foreign Edition Studio

Declared-scope localization and optional edition-production services for a defined language, market, manuscript, and delivery package.

Publishing control: The client or rightsholder remains the publishing decision-maker.
Rights effect: No rights transfer, representation authority, or MAQUINE publishing role is created by an estimate, inquiry, or standard Studio engagement.
Agreement: A Studio proposal and services agreement govern the approved scope.

MAQUINE Rights Partnerships

Rights-chain review, catalog positioning, market preparation, and qualified partnership conversations.

Publishing control: The rightsholder retains control unless a separate written agreement expressly grants defined authority.
Rights effect: An inquiry, review, introduction, or planning document does not appoint MAQUINE as an agent or license any right.
Agreement: Any representation, licensing, royalty, exclusivity, territory, format, term, or approval role requires a separate written agreement.

MAQUINE Editions

Selective MAQUINE-published editions for titles that pass identity, rights, materials, editorial, and commercial review.

Publishing control: Publishing control and approvals are allocated only in a title-specific written publishing agreement.
Rights effect: MAQUINE receives only the rights expressly described in a fully executed agreement; no public catalog entry itself grants or confirms availability.
Agreement: A separate publishing or license agreement defines rights, territory, format, term, approvals, reporting, and reversion.

Boundary Comparison

The same title may need different paths at different times.

The path changes only through an explicit review and the agreement appropriate to that work.

Comparison of MAQUINE service and publishing families
Family	Commercial model	Rights effect	Controlling agreement
MAQUINE Foreign Edition Studio	A scoped service price, accepted proposal, service agreement, and payment schedule.	No rights transfer, representation authority, or MAQUINE publishing role is created by an estimate, inquiry, or standard Studio engagement.	A Studio proposal and services agreement govern the approved scope.
MAQUINE Rights Partnerships	Scope and economics are evaluated case by case after authority and materials review.	An inquiry, review, introduction, or planning document does not appoint MAQUINE as an agent or license any right.	Any representation, licensing, royalty, exclusivity, territory, format, term, or approval role requires a separate written agreement.
MAQUINE Editions	Terms are title-specific and are not implied by a submission, catalog review, or Studio project.	MAQUINE receives only the rights expressly described in a fully executed agreement; no public catalog entry itself grants or confirms availability.	A separate publishing or license agreement defines rights, territory, format, term, approvals, reporting, and reversion.

Qualified Entry Paths

Start with who controls the work and which decision needs to be made.

Audience paths explain readiness requirements before routing a publisher, professional author business, agency, or estate into a service or partnership inquiry.
