I just love good stories with unique perspectives. Doesn't have to be a specific genre or subject matter, just has to be written by someone with something to say. Additionally, this is a very hard time for writers with original IP so I want to support those projects as much as possible!
I have a degree in art history and have written four period pieces (features) so I understand the delights and challenges of research-heavy projects.
I'm really tired of reboots and biopics. I love freshness!

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.
