The AI matchmaker for manuscripts and the agents who love them.

Literary agents receive thousands of queries a month. Most never see yours — not because your manuscript isn't ready, but because the matching system is broken. Outdated wish lists. Closed agents still taking queries. Great books going into the void.

The problem we're solving

Authors spend 3–4 hours manually researching agents for every query batch — chasing wish lists last updated in 2023, submitting to agents who quietly closed months ago, and sending great manuscripts into a void with zero feedback on fit.

FirstRead fixes that. A live, AI-powered matching engine that surfaces the right agents for your manuscript — ranked by fit score, filtered by current status, formatted for submission in one click.
