You told us what you needed. We listened. And today, we're rolling out the biggest set of updates since we launched.
More buyers at the table
We've entered a strategic partnership with Producers365, bringing a new wave of verified producers and buyers directly into the First-Look ecosystem. Public announcements coming soon.
A new brand, set to ignite the new renaissance
Today we're unveiling a refreshed First-Look identity. One that reflects who we've always been and where we're going: a home for writers in a new era of discovery. Not a submission portal. A market built around your work.
A sharper Knox
Our proprietary scoring engine just got sharper. We've refined Knox's evaluation model for greater accuracy, and we'll keep tuning it as we scale our expert panel alongside the extraordinary writers who've already contributed their craft to the system.
Introducing Buyer Mandates
The biggest experience update lands in your dashboard today. Verified buyers can now publish live Buyer Mandates: their current needs, in their own words.
You'll see exactly what the market is asking for, refine your properties against real demand, and submit with clarity. It's the transparency between writers and buyers that has never existed at this scale.
And there's more coming
This is a milestone, not a finish line. We'll keep building toward one goal: helping you reach the next milestone in your career.
Stay tuned. Share this with the writers in your circle. The room just got bigger.
Yours truly,
The First-Look Team
