Get Real. Get Ready. Get Traction.
For writers committed to their craft and ready to make screenwriting more than just a hobby, Roadmap Writers offers our Career Writer Program. These feedback-driven sessions put the Career Writer in immersive and interactive roundtables, giving them a competitive edge in the marketplace while helping them build relationships with as many industry professionals as possible.
The vast majority of our Success Stories come from writers in our Career Writer Program, many of whom have gone on to sign with nearly every agency and management company in the industry! Also, as a direct result of Top Tier, writers have been staffed on series and set up shows at Amazon, Netflix, Lifetime, Hallmark, Lionsgate, Stampede Ventures, Campfire, CBS, Anvil Pictures and Bohemia Group.
"Very early in my writing career Roadmap believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. By leading with my best sample and Roadmap’s industry boost I was able to land representation that got me staffed on a hit show!" Mika Frank (#343 Writer Signed, Staffed on FOX's THE RESIDENT)
