- Authors First, a new AI studio founded by private equity veteran Robert Hamwee, has secured $10 million in backing and pledges to give authors an easier path to bringing their books to the screen.
- Authors First specifically targets science-fiction and fantasy scribes, promising to let writers adapt their titles as closely to their intended vision as possible.
Why it matters: With $10 million in backing, Authors First is making a direct pitch to sci-fi and fantasy authors—a category of creators who have historically had limited leverage in screen adaptations—by positioning AI as a tool for authorial fidelity rather than studio convenience.
