How you approach the prep work of outlining your script—whether for your first draft or your 10th—can make all the difference when you sit down to face the blinking cursor. No matter how detailed or macro, all outlines must contain the standard structural integrity and character arcs for your particular format and genre. Submit your outline (10 page max) and the executive will conduct a 30-minute notes call to give you and your story ground-level guidance. You'll discuss how to refine set up of the structure, pacing, theme, and character development for your script.

I love reading character driven pieces -- whether it's comedy or drama. I love soap and dark comedy as well. Open to all stories but particularly enjoy LGBTQ+ and women-led stories.
Tend to not enjoy reading period pieces, crime dramas, or complex fantasy.
Fola, a queer Nigerian-American writer, was born and raised in Georgia. In 2012, after graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill, Fola made the cross country drive to Los Angeles, where he discovered the true meaning of perseverance (and the limits of his car’s air conditioning). Fola then spent several years working at various production companies and studios (Sierra/Affinity,The Mark Gordon Company, Legendary Entertainment), gaining invaluable experience in creative development.
In 2017, his essay, I GOT CATFISHED ON A DATING APP, BUT THERE ARE OTHER FISH IN THE SEA, ran in the LA Times. In 2019, he garnered a fellowship with the Outfest Screenwriting Lab for his script SUGAR HONEY ICED TEA. Soon after, he joined the writer’s room for Prime Videos's PAPER GIRLS. Fola also won Powderkeg and Color Creative’s Teen Movie Contest, for his feature THE OTHER ONE. Since then, Fola has written on TOM SWIFT (CW), the upcoming WE WERE LIARS (Prime Video), and continues to develop and go out with original projects that blend sharp humor, heartfelt drama, and just the right amount of chaos. He currently is the Creator/Executive Producer of a TV project that is set up at MGM Television.
When not writing, Fola can be found perfecting his jollof rice recipe, traveling more than his bank account should allow, and re-watching Desperate Housewives so often he should seek psychiatric help.

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.
