Authors First is a book-to-screen studio and distribution platform that brings beloved books to life with authors in the director's chair.
Authors First matters because its human-led, AI-enabled production model is intended to make ambitious historical fiction, sci-fi, and fantasy adaptations possible despite budgets that would typically stop traditional studios, while giving authors creative control and final-cut approval. Its more-than-$10-million seed funding is intended to expand operations and platform development as it launches Genghis: Birth of an Empire with Conn Iggulden and develops projects based on Peter F. Hamilton, David Ball, and R.A. Salvatore.
