first page embraces one simple, bold idea — publish exclusively the opening paragraphs of fiction works.
Presented in the traditional form of a newspaper (35x48cm), each issue showcases five writers and their compelling first pages, offering readers a glimpse into diverse narratives and storytelling styles.
At first page, we celebrate the dedication and craft that writers invest in their opening lines - those crucial moments that captivate readers and set the tone for entire stories. By providing a platform for these beginnings, we aim to highlight emerging talents and the potential of their narratives.
first page is an independent, literary project based in Berlin, Germany.
