First Ten Pages measures what matters most: whether readers keep reading.
First Ten Pages was built by a working screenwriter around a simple idea: the best way to know if a screenplay is working is to see if people keep reading. Producers, executives, agents, managers, and writers all ask the same question when they open a script: Do I want to turn the page? Instead of reducing your screenplay to a score out of ten, First Ten Pages measures real reader behavior. Did they finish the first ten pages? Did they keep reading? Did they finish the script?
We also want to make reading scripts easier. Every screenplay gets a clean landing page, a thumbnail designed to earn the click, and a simple shareable link. No downloading a PDF. No account required to start reading. Share your script with a producer, text it to a friend, or post it on social media. They click, and they’re reading. Think YouTube, but for screenplays.
First Ten Pages is built for writers first. Real reader data helps you understand whether your script is connecting, while optional feedback, professional notes, and AI-assisted analysis help you make it stronger. There are no rewards for reading longer and no reason to finish a script other than wanting to know what happens next. When someone reaches page eleven, it means something. Great scripts start strong. They start with the First Ten Pages.
Every writer receives equal prominence. Audiences and industry peers discover screenplays through engaging loglines, verified read signals, and the undeniable quality of page one.
Understand exactly how readers navigate your draft. Real page-turn engagement metrics highlight where pacing soars and where narrative momentum can be sharpened.
