Hello from Talloss

We started Talloss because the working artists we know — musicians playing four nights a week, novelists between contracts, painters running their own studios, actors between auditions — spend more time hunting for opportunities than making the work that justifies the hunt.

The internet is full of paid creative opportunities: residencies, commissions, festival slots, magazine pitches, gallery open calls, voiceover gigs, brand collaborations. They're scattered across hundreds of sites, behind dozens of newsletters, and almost none of them know anything about you. By the time you find a fit, the deadline is tomorrow.

Talloss is the agent we wish we had. You tell us who you are and what you're after — your craft, your genre, your goals. Our scout reads the web on your schedule and sends only the leads that actually match: real opportunities with real money, vetted, with everything you need to apply in one place.

This is the first post on the Talloss blog. We'll use this space for product updates, opportunity-hunting tactics, interviews with artists who've turned scattered gigs into a sustainable practice, and the occasional honest note about what's working and what isn't. Welcome.
