If you can answer the following questions, you're off to a great start: Why should someone buy/make this project? How is the project elevated by 'me' being the writer for this project? Why is 'now' the best moment for this project to be bought/made?
-Finding unique characters and worlds that could translate into broadcast procedurals and/or dramas. Example: CASTLE and/or FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
-Finding stories that reach their full potential through animation and either can't or shouldn't necessarily be made as live action. Example: BOJACK HORSEMAN
-Finding high concepts or subversive ideas that translate into genre features. Example: LOOPER/SOURCE CODE/LIAR LIAR
Horror Genre in general - just not something we as a company pursue.

Cancellation Policy: You may cancel your registration for a refund or Roadmap gift card if you have not yet submitted your material for review. However, once your material has been received by Roadmap, your registration cannot be canceled. Having revised material or a desire to retroactively apply a discount or gift card code are not grounds for cancellation, refunds, or gift card credit. Once your material has been submitted, the only acceptable grounds for cancellation and a refund or gift card credit is an unforeseen, ongoing emergency on the part of either the writer or the exec resulting in more than 6 weeks without any scheduling update from the exec via direct contact or Roadmap, or a sudden change in the exec's ongoing availability. In the instance of an irreconcilable scheduling issue, the writer may still receive a written feedback report from the exec. In this case, the writer is not entitled to a refund or gift card credit as the exec has read the submitted material and provided written feedback in lieu of the call.
