There's so much to accomplish in the first act of a feature. Worse, if the reader isn't hooked by page 15, they'll likely stop reading. For the First 30 Consultation, you'll submit the first 30 pages of your feature or one-hour pilot script, and then have a 30-minute story notes call with the executive. They will help you boost your hook and refine your set up to make sure it is as strong as possible so readers HAVE to know what happens next.

I have had extensive experience pitching features, half hour and hour TV shows to studios, networks and streaming networks. Helping writers learn to "read the room", how to best interact with executives, how to distill your pitch down to the essence that will deliver the biggest impact. What aspects of the script or series the writer should best focus on to connect with those they are pitching to.
Honestly I am interested in and have had experience with all aspects of writing and pitching for film and TV in all genres. I am most interested in working with the writer to help them realize their vision and to get a sense of the difference between their idea of what they've written and what they actually have written. I am interested in working on scripts, pitches, pitch decks, outlines and story bibles.

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.
