Let's say a transgender woman wants to become a successful author like J.K Rowling did with the Harry Potter franchise but by writing young teenagers/adults books stories. Is this possible, J.K Rowling targeted the children demographics and she owned all the copyrights and franchise of her stories and characters. Rowling started her stories as children's stories and then her stories became more dark and mature. She did become a rich billionaire on her own though through her own merits, imagination and efforts. https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattcraig/2025/05/30/jk-rowling-is-a-billionaire-again/ https://youtu.be/RqQNWYkHlKM https://youtu.be/dphoCsfR8iU https://youtu.be/X2adjz-KG9Y https://youtu.be/Ij97LWo0I7s https://youtu.be/SrJiAG8GmnQ https://youtu.be/gjWABn5imBw https://youtu.be/AWTwd511S6I https://youtu.be/G2tcbFF99Yg The transgender author in question does not own the copyrights and franchise of her characters and their stories, just like Stan Lee and his Marvel creations. Are there any way the aspiring writer can fool or make a deal with the company that owns those copyrights as the company in question does not and will never use those intangible assets at their full potential. https://www.businessinsider.com/stan-lee-marvel-heartbroken-copyright-characters-2023-6
>>61553734>Let's say a transgender womanNot sure how this is relevant.>Is this possiblePossible, not probable. Prose writing is an arts profession like acting or playing music - it's a highly competitive, high risk field where only a small percentage make an outsized share of the profit. Rowling is not a typical example of a writer. She is in fact the absolute top of the field.You also have to understand the circumstances of her career and Harry Potter. She published through a company that was very small at the time. That means both she and the company were taking mutual risk. That is also why she was able to retain most profits and control over secondary (licensing) rights, which is probably where most of her net worth comes from.>Stan Lee and his Marvel creationsIt is important to make a distinction between prose publishing and comic books. American comics is not in the traditional publishing business. In a traditional publishing arrangement, copyright does not exchange hands. The publisher acts as an agent. Comic books, in the way Marvel and DC practice it, is a shared fictional universe, and all stories and characters are derivatives of that universe. Since that universe is owned by the company, they will also own at least part of the copyright of all stories that take place within it. Artists and writers are "work-for-hire," which means they have no more right over that creation than a fence painter would own your fence.
