FirstPass isn't a replacement for a human reader, agent, or editor. It's the fast pre-read you run before you spend, submit, or send.
Writers use FirstPass at every stage. Before the deadline. Before the query. Before you pay for coverage. Sometimes before there's even a draft.
Nicholl, Austin, PAGE, BlueCat, ScreenCraft, Sundance Labs. Before you spend $75 on an entry fee, find out if your script can hold up against ten thousand others.
You only get one first impression per inbox. Catch the format issues, the slow opening, and the comp-title mismatch before a reader passes in three minutes.
Paid reads run $200–$500. Use FirstPass first so when you do pay, you're not paying someone to tell you about a typo on page two.
You've been in this manuscript for two years. You can't see it anymore. A structured outside read tells you whether to keep cutting or start sending.
Treatments, loglines, one-page pitches, a paragraph in a notes app. Find out if the concept has legs before you spend a year writing it.
You wrote a thing. You think it might be good. You don't want to ask your sister again. Honest, structured feedback — no ego, no waiting.
Most writers don't get rejected because they lack talent. They get rejected because the draft wasn't ready yet.
Here's the kind of thing a reader catches in the first ten pages — and the kind of thing FirstPass will flag before you send it.
FirstPass is built around the doubts that keep a draft in the drawer. Every report answers the questions you're already asking yourself.
No signup. Drop in a screenplay, pilot, novel sample, query, or proposal — upload a PDF, .txt, or Fountain file, or paste text directly.
In under two minutes you'll see your readiness score and the top two gaps in your draft. Free, instant, no card.

Not a chatbot summary. A polished, downloadable report formatted like coverage you'd receive from a paid reader at an agency or studio — with a clear, prioritized list of exactly what to fix to get your work submission-ready.
A confident voice and a rich emotional spine. Act II loses momentum around p. 58 — tighten the midpoint and you have a strong submission.

We do not retain, claim, license, sublicense, or train on your work. Your submission is processed to generate your coverage report and then released. You hold every right you had when you uploaded — full stop. Coverage is a tool, not a transfer. We built FirstPass because writers shouldn't have to hand over rights, sign options, or pay $200 a read just to find out if their draft is ready to submit.
