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 want to hear why this story speaks to you and why it speaks to the current culture. Why you? Why now? Also, don't get bogged down in the worldbuilding - show me the character journey and what challenges they will face in order to grow!
Genre is my specialty, so I am always looking for folks who want to work in that space, specifically if they have grounded genre projects (big, expansive shows are very hard samples to get over the line). I am most excited to work with diverse folks who are just starting out in their career. I also love dark comedy and high-octane action!
I am not interested in trauma porn or revenge porn, stories where the main plotline is about overcoming drug addiction, gratuitous violence or nudity, adaptations you don't have the rights to, or kids animation.

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.
